Applying Relational Frame Theory (RFT) in natural language processing (NLP) systems,

The general model for doing this is to ...

  1. Model Relational Frames:
    1. For example, Implement mechanisms for learning relational categories (e.g., same, different, comparison).
    2. Encode, weight, and model feedback on context-dependent and conditional relationships.
  2. Model Contextual Control:
    • Develop models that adapt word or phrase meanings based on context conditionals, reflecting RFT’s emphasis on contextual/conditional flexibility.
  3. Functional Meaning:
    • Incorporate talker and listener specific functional relations (e.g., operant, discriminated operant, conditional discriminated operant, compound conditional discriminated operant) to tailor NLP outputs.
  4. Application:
    • Apply in ACT sentiment analysis, dialogue systems, and tasks requiring nuanced contextual reasoning.
    • Apply in learn-channel analysis of strengths, weaknesses and deficits in performance of channel pairs
    • Apply in multi-channel, learn-channel analysis and engineering of multi-scale emergence and adaptation (e.g., the HDML) Verbal Behavior structures.
