Compositional inductive biases in function learning.
How do people recognize and learn about complex functional structure? Taking inspiration from other areas of cognitive science, we propose that this is achieved by harnessing compositionality: complex structure is decomposed into simpler building blocks. We formalize this idea within the framework of Bayesian regression using a grammar over Gaussian process kernels, and compare this approach wi...
متن کاملSuperspace extrapolation reveals inductive biases in function learning
We introduce a new approach for exploring how humans learn and represent functional relationships based on limited observations. We focus on a problem called superspace extrapolation, where learners observe training examples drawn from an n-dimensional space and must extrapolate to an n+ 1dimensional superspace of the training examples. Many existing psychological models predict that superspace...
متن کاملLearning Inductive Biases with Simple Neural Networks
People use rich prior knowledge about the world in order to efficiently learn new concepts. These priors–also known as “inductive biases”–pertain to the space of internal models considered by a learner, and they help the learner make inferences that go beyond the observed data. A recent study found that deep neural networks optimized for object recognition develop the shape bias (Ritter et al.,...
متن کاملRates for Inductive Learning of Compositional Models
Compositional Models are widely used in Computer Vision as they exhibit strong expressive power by generating a combinatorial number of configurations with a small number of components. However, the literature is still missing a theoretical understanding of why compositional models are better than flat representations, despite empirical evidence as well as strong arguments that compositional mo...
متن کاملDiscovering Inductive Biases in Categorization through Iterated Learning
Progress in studying human categorization has typically involved comparing generalization judgments made by people to those made by models for a variety of training conditions. In this paper, we explore an alternative method for understanding human category learning—iterated learning—which can directly expose the inductive biases of human learners and categorization models. Using a variety of s...
