People learning new concepts can often generalize successfully from just a single example, yet machine learning algorithms typically require tens or hundreds of examples to perform with similar… (More)
Recent progress in artificial intelligence has renewed interest in building systems that learn and think like people. Many advances have come from using deep neural networks trained end-to-end in… (More)
People can learn visual concepts from just one encounter, but it remains a mystery how this is accomplished. Many authors have proposed that transferred knowledge from more familiar concepts is a… (More)
Systems of concepts such as colors, animals, cities, and artifacts are richly structured, and people discover the structure of these domains throughout a lifetime of experience. Discovering structure… (More)
Humans can understand and produce new utterances effortlessly, thanks to their compositional skills. Once a person learns the meaning of a new verb “dax,” he or she can immediately understand the… (More)
Humans can understand and produce new utterances effortlessly, thanks to their systematic compositional skills. Once a person learns the meaning of a new verb “dax,” he or she can immediately… (More)
The latest generation of neural networks has made major performance advances in object categorization from raw images. In particular, deep convolutional neural networks currently outperform… (More)
One-shot learning – the human ability to learn a new concept from just one or a few examples – poses a challenge to traditional learning algorithms, although approaches based on Hierarchical Bayesian… (More)
During the learning of speech sounds and other perceptual categories, category labels are not provided, the number of categories is unknown, and the stimuli are encountered sequentially. These… (More)
Semi-supervised category learning is when participants make classification judgements while receiving feedback about the right answers on some trials (labeled stimuli) but not others (unlabeled… (More)
