中文简介:
人类如何从如此痴迷的世界中了解这个世界?即使是幼儿也可以推断出单词的意义,对象的隐藏属性,或仅仅通过一些或几个相关观察的因果关系的存在,远远超过传统学习机器的能力。他们是如何做到的,我们如何才能使机器更接近人类的学习?我将论证人们的日常归纳性飞跃可以通过(近似于)世界概率推理生成模型来理解。这些模型可以具有基于抽象知识表示的丰富结构,认知心理学家有时称之为“直觉理论”,“心智模型”或“模式”。它们通常还具有支持多层次推理的层次结构,或“学习学习”,其中抽象知识本身可以从经验中学习,同时引导来自稀疏数据的更具体的概括。本讲座将侧重于学习模型和“学习“关于类别,词义和因果关系。我将展示这些设置的不同之处,人类学习者如何能够平衡需要强烈地限制rapidgeneralization所需的归纳偏差,以及适应新环境结构的灵活性,学习新的归纳偏差,而我们的思维不能预先编程。我还将简要讨论这种方法如何扩展到更丰富的知识形式,如直觉心理学和社会推理,或物理推理。最后,我会为我们目前对大脑学习的理解提出一些挑战,以及神经启发的计算模型。
课程简介: How do humans come to know so much about the world from so little data? Even young children can infer the meanings of words, the hidden properties of objects, or the existence of causal relations from just one or a few relevant observations -- far outstripping the capabilities of conventional learning machines. How do they do it -- and how can we bring machines closer to these human-like learning abilities? I will argue that people's everyday inductive leaps can be understood in terms of (approximations to) probabilistic inference over generative models of the world. These models can have rich latent structure based on abstract knowledge representations, what cognitive psychologists have sometimes called "intuitive theories", "mental models", or "schemas". They also typically have a hierarchical structure supporting inference at multiple levels, or "learning to learn", where abstract knowledge may itself be learned from experience at the same time as it guides more specific generalizations from sparse data. This talk will focus on models of learning and "learning to learn" about categories, word meanings and causal relations. I will show in each of these settings how human learners can balance the need for strongly constraining inductive biases -- necessary for rapid generalization -- with the flexibility to adapt to the structure of new environments, learning new inductive biases for which our minds could not have been pre-programmed. I will also discuss briefly how this approach extends to richer forms of knowledge, such as intuitive psychology and social inferences, or physical reasoning. Finally, I will raise some challenges for our current state of understanding about learning in the brain, and neurally inspired computational models.
