Dear All,
The Center for Cognitive Computation (CCC) invites you to the upcoming meeting of the Representation Learning Reading Group<https://ccc.ceu.edu/representation-learning-reading-group>.
The reading group discusses (mostly recent) papers about theoretical machine learning and algorithms that aim to learn structured, compressed and/or interpretable latent representations of observations in a principled way, often with implications not only for machine learning, but also neuroscience and cognitive science. The group is open for anyone but operates under the assumption that participants know the basic tenets of unsupervised learning and probability theory and have read the paper assigned for the meeting.
Upcoming meeting:
Papers to be discussed:
Song, Y., Sohl-Dickstein, J., Kingma, D. P., Kumar, A., Ermon, S., & Poole, B. (2020). Score-based generative modeling through stochastic differential equations<https://openreview.net/forum?id=PxTIG12RRHS>. arXiv preprint arXiv:2011.13456.
and
Kadkhodaie, Z., & Simoncelli, E. (2021). Stochastic solutions for linear inverse problems using the prior implicit in a denoiser<https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper/2021/hash/6e28943943dbed3c7f82fc05f269…>. Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems, 34, 13242-13254.
Time: 17:00, Wednesday,17 April 2024.
Location: CEU Budapest site (1051 Budapest, Nádor u. 15.) N15. room 104.
Zoom: Meeting ID: 958 1085 9549<https://ceu-edu.zoom.us/j/95810859549?pwd=L2NkaG0yTjVKMDF6cEZ5L3pqOGYydz09> Passcode: 055053

Title: Compositional Learning of Function Interactions in Humans and Machines
Abstract: Humans are efficient learners of functions - the ability to represent and compose functions emerges early in development. Work in linguistics further suggests that humans are capable of learning much more complex function interactions. Going back to Kiparsky (1968), linguists have cataloged numerous linguistic phenomena covering four
logical patterns for ordering two interactive functions. “Feeding” in a context-free grammar is when one function creates the context for another to operate, and “counterfeeding” is the converse. “Bleeding” occurs when the operation of one function removes the context for another, and “counterbleeding” is its converse. In this project, our aim is to determine the extent to which humans and computational models can learn to compose functions based on the system of interactions. We introduce a learning task that adapts and extends the Piantadosi & Aslin (2016) design, evaluating participants on zero-shot function compositions covering all four interaction types. Our findings indicate that participants can correctly infer the underlying functions based on limited input-output examples; they can also generalize to novel combinations of functions across different conditions. Close examinations of participants’ response patterns reveal a number of potential inductive biases. Furthermore, we demonstrate that a standard sequence-to-sequence transformer model can be trained to complete the same task with high levels of accuracy via meta-learning. Incorporating guidance from human data, our model can learn to reproduce behavioral patterns that mirror the complete and complex way humans perform function compositions.

Title: Is novelty memorable?
Abstract: One of the central questions of memory research pertains to the most important factors influencing memorability. Most experts consider novelty to be such a factor, even though empirical results are controversial on the memory effects of novelty. A possible solution for this conundrum might be based on the application of predictive coding principles to memory systems. This theory proposes a general information processing strategy characterizing the nervous system, which is based on predictions generated in accordance with prior experience that influences actual experience. From this standpoint, common sense novelty per se should not affect the updating of predictions or in other words memory encoding. However, if emphasis is placed on the degree of unexpectedness, we might paint a more consistent picture about one of the most important factors influencing memorability.
