Reasoning with shapes: profiting cognitive susceptibilities to infer linear mapping transformations between shapes
Visual information plays an indispensable role in our daily interactions with environment. Such information is manipulated for a wide range of purposes spanning from basic object and material perception to complex gesture interpretations. There have been novel studies in cognitive science for in-depth understanding of visual information manipulation, which lead to answer questions such as: how we infer 2D/3D motion from a sequence of 2D images? how we understand a motion from a single image frame? how we see forest avoiding trees? Leveraging on congruence, linear mapping transformation determination between a set of shapes facilitate motion perception. Present study methodizes recent discoveries of human cognitive ability for scene understanding. The proposed method processes images hierarchically, that is an iterative analysis of scene abstractions using a rapidly converging heuristic iterative method. The method hierarchically abstracts images; the abstractions are represented in polar coordinate system, and any two consecutive abstractions have incremental level of details. The method then creates a graph of approximated linear mapping transformations based on circular shift permutations of hierarchical abstractions. The graph is then traversed in best-first fashion to find best linear mapping transformation. The accuracy of the proposed method is assessed using normal, noisy, and deformed images. Additionally, the present study deduces (i) the possibility of determining optimal mapping linear transformations in logarithmic iterations with respect to the precision of results, and (ii) computational cost is independent from the resolution of input shapes.

Forgetting as a Feature: Cognitive Alignment of Large Language Models
Large Language Models (LLMs) are often evaluated against ideals of perfect Bayesian inference, yet growing evidence suggests that their in-context reasoning exhibits systematic forgetting of past information. Rather than…
Bayesian InferenceShapes of Cognition for Computational Cognitive Modeling
Shapes of cognition is a new conceptual paradigm for the computational cognitive modeling of Language-Endowed Intelligent Agents (LEIAs). Shapes are remembered constellations of sensory, linguistic, conceptual, episodic,…
Interpreting Reinforcement Learning Agents with Susceptibilities
Susceptibilities are a technique for neural network interpretability that studies the response of posterior expectation values of observables to perturbations of the loss. We generalize this construction to the setting o…

We develop a linear response framework for interpretability that treats a neural network as a Bayesian statistical mechanical system. A small perturbation of the data distribution, for example shifting the Pile toward Gi…

We define susceptibilities as a measure of the response of an observable quantity of a parameterized statistical model to a perturbation of the data for a general class of observables. We define estimators for these susc…
