2013 seems an insanely long time ago ;) ...  we started with these ideas

but have gone some way since... last summer's partial update was

But since last summer we have onboarded a new team that does deep-NN
language modeling and we are experimenting with using the output of
deep-NN predictive models to guide syntactic parsing and semantic
interpretation in OpenCog...
