Type theory in human-like learning and inference

no code implementations4 Oct 2022 Felix A. Sosa, Tomer Ullman

Humans can generate reasonable answers to novel queries (Schulz, 2012): if I asked you what kind of food you want to eat for lunch, you would respond with a food, not a time.

A Bayesian-Symbolic Approach to Reasoning and Learning in Intuitive Physics

no code implementations NeurIPS 2021 Kai Xu, Akash Srivastava, Dan Gutfreund, Felix Sosa, Tomer Ullman, Josh Tenenbaum, Charles Sutton

In this paper, we propose a Bayesian-symbolic framework (BSP) for physical reasoning and learning that is close to human-level sample-efficiency and accuracy.

A Bayesian-Symbolic Approach to Learning and Reasoning for Intuitive Physics

no code implementations1 Jan 2021 Kai Xu, Akash Srivastava, Dan Gutfreund, Felix Sosa, Tomer Ullman, Joshua B. Tenenbaum, Charles Sutton

As such, learning the laws is then reduced to symbolic regression and Bayesian inference methods are used to obtain the distribution of unobserved properties.

Temporal and Object Quantification Nets

no code implementations1 Jan 2021 Jiayuan Mao, Zhezheng Luo, Chuang Gan, Joshua B. Tenenbaum, Jiajun Wu, Leslie Pack Kaelbling, Tomer Ullman

We aim to learn generalizable representations for complex activities by quantifying over both entities and time, as in “the kicker is behind all the other players,” or “the player controls the ball until it moves toward the goal.” Such a structural inductive bias of object relations, object quantification, and temporal orders will enable the learned representation to generalize to situations with varying numbers of agents, objects, and time courses.

Modeling Expectation Violation in Intuitive Physics with Coarse Probabilistic Object Representations

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2019 Kevin Smith, Lingjie Mei, Shunyu Yao, Jiajun Wu, Elizabeth Spelke, Josh Tenenbaum, Tomer Ullman

We also present a new test set for measuring violations of physical expectations, using a range of scenarios derived from developmental psychology.

A Compositional Object-Based Approach to Learning Physical Dynamics

1 code implementation1 Dec 2016 Michael B. Chang, Tomer Ullman, Antonio Torralba, Joshua B. Tenenbaum

By comparing to less structured architectures, we show that the NPE's compositional representation of the structure in physical interactions improves its ability to predict movement, generalize across variable object count and different scene configurations, and infer latent properties of objects such as mass.
