CogGym: Towards Large-Scale Comparative Evaluation of Human and Machine Cognition
Lance Ying, Jinzhou Wu, Yingshan Susan Wang +53
Understanding and modeling human intelligence are parallel goals shared by artificial intelligence (AI) and cognitive science. As AI systems grow increasingly capable, in what ways…
Sparks of In Silico Cognitive Science: Theories from Simulated Data Can Generalize to Humans
Akshay K. Jagadish, Younes Strittmatter, Nori Jacoby +4
Behavioral foundation models have been proposed as stand-ins for human participants across settings, but it is unclear whether theories discovered on them generalize to humans or m…
Closing the Loop to Discover Psychological Theories with an Automated Cognitive Scientist
Akshay K. Jagadish, Younes Strittmatter, Nori Jacoby +5
Across the sciences, autonomous systems are increasingly being used in closed-loop discovery, proposing new theories and designing and running experiments to test them. This approa…
Not Yet AlphaFold for the Mind: Evaluating Centaur as a Synthetic Participant
Sabrina Namazova, Alessandra Brondetta, Younes Strittmatter +2
Simulators have revolutionized scientific practice across the natural sciences. By generating data that reliably approximate real-world phenomena, they enable scientists to acceler…
