Abstract
We show that the conventional first-order algorithm of unification can be simulated by finite artificial neural networks with one layer of neurons. In these unification neural networks, the unification algorithm is performed by error-correction learning. Each time-step of adaptation of the network corresponds to a single iteration of the unification algorithm. We present this result together with the library of learning functions and examples fully formalised in MATLAB Neural Network Toolbox.
