Re: How much intelligence?

But what if the properties of natural language are progressively
learned? The approach you are suggesting seems to be more top-down
rather than bottom-up - i.e., the rules are in place from the
beginning. The one I'm suggesting is more bottom-up, and the rules
would not be in place initially. Would you agree?

Wouldn't you say that learning the rules and properties of language is
heavily dependent on pattern recognition? An infant hears a word over
and over, and they hear phrases over and over, and they themselves
(unsupervised) try putting different words and phrases together that
they hear. When they hear something that sounds like a positive
response (i.e., someone seems to understand them) they are likely to
try that or a similar combination again; contrarily if they hear a
negative one, they are less likely to use that again - in that case
they also learn that that is NOT a rule, thereby refining the rules
they've learned. What do you think? Am I on the right track?

What is TvN?

Thanks!!
