Formal Reasoning Potential
Laura discusses the potential of connectionist models to achieve formal reasoning, citing her recent paper that demonstrates their ability to apply systematic rules with high accuracy. She emphasizes that while these models have limitations, they can generalize across various tasks. The conversation also touches on the ongoing debate about the models' capacity for inventive creativity and their ability to handle novel situations.In this clip
