Children learn about 10 words a day on average; a single example of a word can be enough to learn its meaning. In any given example, a new word co-occurs with a myriad of features of the child's current mental state -- yet the child can separate the word's meaning from the noise.
That is because the meaning of a word is not defined by how statistically likely it is to co-occur with other words, or with features of the external environment, or with features of your own inner world. Meaning is simply not statistical in nature.
Interesting; could you please provide your source for 10 words per day?
Check the super-duper hand-out! They say vocabulary grows from 20k words at age 6 to 50k at each 12, which is an average of about 15 words/day, sustained over 6 years! https://www.superduperinc.com/handouts/pdf/149_VocabularyDevelopment.pdf …
In relation to this, I like Wittgenstein's point of view: he said that the meaning of a word is its use in a given context, "language-games"
There is not a singular learning event for any given "word" one learns the visual & auditory representations as well as the usage contextual weights separately. At different times & via different brain areas. Only then we can learn how all of those sensory meanings are linked.
Agreed, though we can on first hearing represent a new word and the thing it corresponds to in terms of anything it relates to that we already know (i.e. have representations of). We can then refine when we encounter new evidence. (Also see my other direct and indirect replies).
Somewhere I read an interesting article about learning by novelty and curiosity. I think instinctively children tend to easily bundle similar concepts and seek new words/ideas. I believe this metric can be applied to AI
Related, this is an interesting experiment and visualization regarding "the birth of a word" in a baby's experience: https://www.ted.com/talks/deb_roy_the_birth_of_a_word?language=en …
