About Jeffrey Elman
- Jeffrey Locke Elman (January 22, 1948 – June 28, 2018) was an American psycholinguist and professor of cognitive science at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD).
- He specialized in the field of neural networks.
- In 1990, he introduced the simple recurrent neural network (SRNN), also known as the 'Elman network', which is capable of processing sequentially ordered stimuli, and has since become widely used.
- Elman's work was highly significant to our understanding of how languages are acquired and also, once acquired, how sentences are comprehended.
- Sentences in natural languages are composed of sequences of words that are organized in phrases and hierarchical structures.
- The Elman network provides an important hypothesis for how neural networks—and, by analogy, the human brain—might be doing the learning and processing of such structures.Elman was also a generous and kind person, beloved by his colleagues at UCSD and around the world.
