- 提出五种计算模型,聚焦层级处理与预测机制。
- 适合认知科学与人工智能交叉研究者参考。
本文综述事件理解的理论假设与计算模型,从话语理解理论演进至当代事件认知框架。涵盖建构-整合、事件索引、因果网络与共振模型等关键话语理解理论,强调其在认知过程理解中的贡献。随后讨论事件分割理论(Zacks et al., 2007)、事件视界模型(Radvansky & Zacks, 2014)及分层生成框架(Kuperberg, 2021),突出预测、因果性与多层次表征在事件理解中的作用。在此基础上,评估五种计算模型:REPRISE(Butz et al., 2019)、结构化事件记忆(SEM; Franklin et al., 2020)、Lu模型(Lu et al., 2022)、Gumbsch模型(Gumbsch et al., 2022)与Elman和McRae模型(2019),分析其在层级处理、预测机制与表征学习方面的策略。关键主题包括利用层级结构作为归纳偏置、预测在理解中的重要性,以及学习事件动态的多样化方法。文章指出未来研究需发展更复杂的结构化表征学习、整合情景记忆机制,并设计自适应更新的工作事件模型。通过融合理论与计算实现,推动人类事件理解的认知科学理解,并指导未来建模工作。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This review examines theoretical assumptions and computational models of event comprehension, tracing the evolution from discourse comprehension theories to contemporary event cognition frameworks. The review covers key discourse comprehension accounts, including Construction-Integration, Event Indexing, Causal Network, and Resonance models, highlighting their contributions to understanding cognitive processes in comprehension. I then discuss contemporary theoretical frameworks of event comprehension, including Event Segmentation Theory (Zacks et al., 2007), the Event Horizon Model (Radvansky & Zacks, 2014), and Hierarchical Generative Framework (Kuperberg, 2021), which emphasize prediction, causality, and multilevel representations in event understanding. Building on these theories, I evaluate five computational models of event comprehension: REPRISE (Butz et al., 2019), Structured Event Memory (SEM; Franklin et al., 2020), the Lu model (Lu et al., 2022), the Gumbsch model (Gumbsch et al., 2022), and the Elman and McRae model (2019). The analysis focuses on their approaches to hierarchical processing, prediction mechanisms, and representation learning. Key themes that emerge include the use of hierarchical structures as inductive biases, the importance of prediction in comprehension, and diverse strategies for learning event dynamics. The review identifies critical areas for future research, including the need for more sophisticated approaches to learning structured representations, integrating episodic memory mechanisms, and developing adaptive updating algorithms for working event models. By synthesizing insights from both theoretical frameworks and computational implementations, this review aims to advance our understanding of human event comprehension and guide future modeling efforts in cognitive science.
