In this article we present some of the fundamental principles of a research program—the Sub-Symbolic Paradigm (SSP)—based on a particular approach to unifying connectionist and symbolic computation.

The study of string constraints and symbolic computation encompasses the development of methods and algorithms for analysing and solving problems where variables represent sequences of characters.

Don’t get me wrong. Like most people, there’s nothing I enjoy more than solving a long, involved math problem by hand. But, sometimes, a few pages of algebraic scratches on paper is just a means to an ...

A new theoretical framework argues that the long-standing split between computational functionalism and biological naturalism misses how real brains actually compute.
