Compositionality is the property of a representational system whereby complex meanings arise from the combination of simpler meaningful elements. Here we take a developmental perspective to understand the origins of compositional representational systems and their relation to language—an issue that bears on longstand...

It is concluded that explaining how language can emerge from neural population codes, in both biological and artificial systems, will not be achieved through the incremental refinement of algebraic-symbolic theories but will demand new theoretical paradigms.

There is a gap between neuroscientific theories of learning and the speed of learning observed in many experiments. Since the Cognitive Revolution of the 1950s, compositionality has played a central role in efforts to bridge this gap. Roughly, a compositional system is one where distinct modules are combined according...

It is shown that across a broad class of ANNs trained on diverse tasks, their inference logic can indeed be reformulated as sparse symbolic interactions, and two common mathematical criteria lead to the emergence of such sparse symbolic interactions.
It is clarified that ROSE is an architecture for implementing hierarchical syntactic computation, bringing with it no commitment that its full code is obligatory for every act of meaning construction.
Compositionality, the ability to flexibly combine meaningful words into higher-level representations, is a critical feature of human language. However, the evolutionary origins of compositional processing are unclear, and evidence for this ability in nonhuman primates is largely lacking. Compositionality is inherent in...
