What is the connectionist approach?

  • A.Networking many computers to solve a problem in parallel
  • B.Learning distributed representations in networks of simple units
  • C.Connecting several expert systems together to share their knowledge
  • D.Linking symbolic rules into chains to derive new conclusions

Answer: B

Connectionism represents knowledge in the weights of a network of simple units, learned from data rather than stated, giving robustness to noise at the cost of interpretability. It is the tradition that produced modern deep learning. The other options describe system integration, symbolic inference and distributed computing. Recognising that the choice between explicit and distributed representation carries consequences for robustness, data requirements and explainability alike is what makes the distinction worth drawing.
