    I think I’ll present Elman 1998, Generalization, simple recurrent networks, and the emergence of structure, from the annotated bibliography Joe put up.

    I’ll be presenting Berent, Everett and Shimron 2001, which can be found here:

    It’s about whether we need our phonological representations to specify variables, or whether we can do without. It’s a horribly-written paper that disguises a very clever experiment with great results and a convincing analysis.

    It’s quite long, so I’ll be ignoring their treatment of exceptions, which is really too bad, because they even factored THOSE into their experimental design . . .
