Realism is almost true: A critique of the interface theory of perception
Objective reality and its relation to our perception have been an important topic of debate in philosophy and cognitive science. Hoffman's "interface theory of perception," which asserts that our perception has no congruency with reality, is recent and controversial among existing theories. Hoffman and Prakash formulated and evaluated their theory using evolutionary game theory and genetic algorithms. This paper investigates the "interface theory of perception," introducing an agent-based simulation. Using the principles and hypothesis of Hoffman's model, first, we regenerate and approve his initial claims to consider interface as a winning perception strategy. Then we move forward to assess his model in more realistic conditions and challenge interface perception model. Our findings indicate that in case of drastic environmental changes, interface perception is no longer compatible with reality and pushes the interface species further toward extinction. Our proposed model will pave the road for future studies to investigate the perception strategies in a more realistic condition.

PerceptUI: LLM Agents as Human-Aligned Synthetic Users for UI/UX Evaluation
User interface (UI) and user experience (UX) evaluation is central to product development, yet reliable feedback still relies on recruiting human participants or running online A/B tests, making early-stage iteration slo…
A Theory of Machine Learning
We critically review three major theories of machine learning and provide a new theory according to which machines learn a function when the machines successfully compute it. We show that this theory challenges common as…
