acquire directed eventually fashion full help including intricate language learn master method native pattern processes raw similar speech structured structures understand
ADIOS relies on a statistical method for pattern extraction and on structured generalization two processes that have been implicated in language acquisition. Our experiments show that it can acquire intricate structures from raw data, including transcripts of parents' speech directed at two- or three-year-olds. This may eventually help researchers understand how children, who learn language in a similar item-by-item fashion and with very little supervision, eventually master the full complexities of their native tongue.

Because such equivalence sets can contain other patterns in turn containing further patterns, and so on the resulting body of knowledge grows recursively, as a sort of forest of branching trees of possibilities.

Because such equivalence sets can contain other patterns -- in turn containing further patterns, and so on -- the resulting body of knowledge grows recursively, as a sort of forest of branching trees of possibilities.
