Query: Relational reasoning and generalization using non-symbolic neural
  networks   The notion of equality (identity) is simple and ubiquitous, making it a key
case study for broader questions about the representations supporting abstract
relational reasoning. Previous work suggested that neural networks were not
suitable models of human relational reasoning because they could not represent
mathematically identity, the most basic form of equality. We revisit this
question. In our experiments, we assess out-of-sample generalization of
equality using both arbitrary representations and representations that have
been pretrained on separate tasks to imbue them with structure. We find neural
networks are able to learn (1) basic equality (mathematical identity), (2)
sequential equality problems (learning ABA-patterned sequences) with only
positive training instances, and (3) a complex, hierarchical equality problem
with only basic equality training instances ("zero-shot'" generalization). In
the two latter cases, our models perform tasks proposed in previous work to
demarcate human-unique symbolic abilities. These results suggest that essential
aspects of symbolic reasoning can emerge from data-driven, non-symbolic
learning processes.
