Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This thesis discusses the implementation of a set of logical forms to enrich the way meaning is modeled in a vector-based system of conceptual memory. Vector-space models can account for a variety of psycho-linguistic phenomena by representing relationships between concepts as distance in a high-dimensional space. But they lack logical organizational structure without which inferential operations are impossible. Augmenting cognitive architectures with innate, logical structures might be the key to resolving this issue. But proposing such structures risks over-attributing the complexity of behavior to complexity in the architecture. I propose using Kant's critical work for a strong theory to select a minimal set of logical forms. The Kantian logical forms are implemented onto vector space architecture in a system (Kantian-HDM) created in R programming language and has been published on GitHub. The results of the simulations run in the system are presented along with a description of the inferential behavior exhibited.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
