Concept-Guided Interpretability via Neural Chunking
Shuchen Wu, Stephan Alaniz, Shyamgopal Karthik +3
Neural networks are often described as black boxes, reflecting the significant challenge of understanding their internal workings and interactions. We propose a different perspecti…
Building, Reusing, and Generalizing Abstract Representations from Concrete Sequences
Shuchen Wu, Mirko Thalmann, Peter Dayan +2
Humans excel at learning abstract patterns across different sequences, filtering out irrelevant details, and transferring these generalized concepts to new sequences. In contrast,…
Centaur: a foundation model of human cognition
Marcel Binz, Elif Akata, Matthias Bethge +37
Establishing a unified theory of cognition has been a major goal of psychology. While there have been previous attempts to instantiate such theories by building computational model…
Simplifying Latent Dynamics with Softly State-Invariant World Models
Tankred Saanum, Peter Dayan, Eric Schulz
To solve control problems via model-based reasoning or planning, an agent needs to know how its actions affect the state of the world. The actions an agent has at its disposal ofte…
Next state prediction gives rise to entangled, yet compositional representations of objects
Tankred Saanum, Luca M. Schulze Buschoff, Peter Dayan +1
Compositional representations are thought to enable humans to generalize across combinatorially vast state spaces. Models with learnable object slots, which encode information abou…
