Word learning as Bayesian inference
Psychological Review, 2007. [All Versions]. [Preprint]. The authors present a Bayesian framework for understanding how adults and children learn the meanings of words. The theory explains how learners can generalize meaningfully from just one or a few positive examples of a…

Theory-based Bayesian models of inductive learning and reasoning cell.com
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2006. [All Versions]. [Preprint]. Inductive inference allows humans to make powerful generalizations from sparse data when learning about word meanings, unobserved properties, causal relationships, and many other aspects of the world. Traditional…

Rules and Similarity in Concept Learning proceedings.neurips.cc
NeurIPS'99, 1999. [All Versions]. [Preprint]. This paper argues that two apparently distinct modes of generalizing concepts - abstracting rules and computing similarity to exemplars - should both be seen as special cases of a more general Bayesian learning framework. Bayes…
