Is the learning paradox resolved?
Maartje E. J. Raijmakers · Behavioral and Brain Sciences · 1997
We argue that on logical grounds the constructivist algorithms mentioned by Quartz & Sejnowski (Q&S) do not resolve the learning paradox. In contrast, a neural network might acquire a more powerful structure by means of phase transitions. The latter kind of developmental mechanism can be in agreement with the constructivist manifesto.
