The Geometry of Representational Failures in Vision Language Models
Daniele Savietto, Declan Campbell, André Panisson +4
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) exhibit puzzling failures in multi-object visual tasks, such as hallucinating non-existent elements or failing to identify the most similar objects am…
Visual serial processing deficits explain divergences in human and VLM reasoning
Nicholas Budny, Kia Ghods, Declan Campbell +6
Why do Vision Language Models (VLMs), despite success on standard benchmarks, often fail to match human performance on surprisingly simple visual reasoning tasks? While the underly…
Bound by semanticity: universal laws governing the generalization-identification tradeoff
Marco Nurisso, Jesseba Fernando, Raj Deshpande +9
Intelligent systems must deploy internal representations that are simultaneously structured -- to support broad generalization -- and selective -- to preserve input identity. We ex…
Levels of Analysis for Large Language Models
Alexander Y. Ku, Declan Campbell, Xuechunzi Bai +10
Modern artificial intelligence systems, such as large language models, are increasingly powerful but also increasingly hard to understand. Recognizing this problem as analogous to…
Understanding the Limits of Vision Language Models Through the Lens of the Binding Problem
Declan Campbell, Sunayana Rane, Tyler Giallanza +8
Recent work has documented striking heterogeneity in the performance of state-of-the-art vision language models (VLMs), including both multimodal language models and text-to-image…
Learning Human-Aligned Representations with Contrastive Learning and Generative Similarity
Raja Marjieh, Sreejan Kumar, Declan Campbell +4
Humans rely on effective representations to learn from few examples and abstract useful information from sensory data. Inducing such representations in machine learning models has…
A Relational Inductive Bias for Dimensional Abstraction in Neural Networks
Declan Campbell, Jonathan D. Cohen
The human cognitive system exhibits remarkable flexibility and generalization capabilities, partly due to its ability to form low-dimensional, compositional representations of the…
Human-Like Geometric Abstraction in Large Pre-trained Neural Networks
Declan Campbell, Sreejan Kumar, Tyler Giallanza +2
Humans possess a remarkable capacity to recognize and manipulate abstract structure, which is especially apparent in the domain of geometry. Recent research in cognitive science su…
Comparing Abstraction in Humans and Large Language Models Using Multimodal Serial Reproduction
Sreejan Kumar, Raja Marjieh, Byron Zhang +5
Humans extract useful abstractions of the world from noisy sensory data. Serial reproduction allows us to study how people construe the world through a paradigm similar to the game…
Relational Constraints On Neural Networks Reproduce Human Biases towards Abstract Geometric Regularity
Declan Campbell, Sreejan Kumar, Tyler Giallanza +2
Uniquely among primates, humans possess a remarkable capacity to recognize and manipulate abstract structure in the service of task goals across a broad range of behaviors. One ill…
The Relational Bottleneck as an Inductive Bias for Efficient Abstraction
Taylor W. Webb, Steven M. Frankland, Awni Altabaa +9
A central challenge for cognitive science is to explain how abstract concepts are acquired from limited experience. This has often been framed in terms of a dichotomy between conne…
