Spot The Ball: A Benchmark for Visual Social Inference
Neha Balamurugan, Sarah Wu, Adam Chun +3
Humans excel at visual social inference, the ability to infer hidden elements of a scene from subtle behavioral cues such as other people's gaze, pose, and orientation. This abilit…
Understanding Human Limits in Pattern Recognition: A Computational Model of Sequential Reasoning in Rock, Paper, Scissors
Logan Cross, Erik Brockbank, Tobias Gerstenberg +3
How do we predict others from patterns in their behavior and what are the computational constraints that limit this ability? We investigate these questions by modeling human behavi…
Modeling Open-World Cognition as On-Demand Synthesis of Probabilistic Models
Lionel Wong, Katherine M. Collins, Lance Ying +8
When faced with novel situations, people are able to marshal relevant considerations from a wide range of background knowledge and put these to use in inferences and predictions. W…
Causal-PIK: Causality-based Physical Reasoning with a Physics-Informed Kernel
Carlota Parés-Morlans, Michelle Yi, Claire Chen +4
Tasks that involve complex interactions between objects with unknown dynamics make planning before execution difficult. These tasks require agents to iteratively improve their acti…
A Communication-First Account of Explanation
Jacqueline Harding, Tobias Gerstenberg, Thomas Icard
This paper develops a formal account of causal explanation, grounded in a theory of conversational pragmatics, and inspired by the interventionist idea that explanation is about as…
