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…
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…
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…
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…
