Mathematical Tractability of Neural Nets

[Elizabeth Bates]

Although I am grateful for the references -- and very aware that there
are alternative approaches and multiple points of view in the world
of neural networks -- I must reiterate: my comments to you were
not addressed to neural networking per se (my qualifications are
relatively limited in that regard) but to the claims you were making
on the network regarding what is supposedly "known" about brain
organization for language.  I can only hope that the references you
cite are not trying to fit their models to a false reality (i.e.
Broca's area = grammar, and so on).  -liz bates
