    • Contrastive Analysis with Predictive Power: Typology Driven Estimation of Grammatical Error Distributions in ESL 

      Berzak, Yevgeni; Reichart, Roi; Katz, Boris (Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), arXiv, 2016-06-05)
      This work examines the impact of crosslinguistic transfer on grammatical errors in English as Second Language (ESL) texts. Using a computational framework that formalizes the theory of Contrastive Analysis (CA), we demonstrate ...

    • View-tolerant face recognition and Hebbian learning imply mirror-symmetric neural tuning to head orientation 

      Leibo, Joel Z.; Liao, Qianli; Freiwald, Winrich; Anselmi, Fabio; Poggio, Tomaso (Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), arXiv, 2016-06-03)
      The primate brain contains a hierarchy of visual areas, dubbed the ventral stream, which rapidly computes object representations that are both specific for object identity and relatively robust against identity-preserving ...

    • Probing the compositionality of intuitive functions 

      Schulz, Eric; Tenenbaum, Joshua B.; Duvenaud, David; Speekenbrink, Maarten; Gershman, Samuel J. (Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), 2016-05-26)
      How do people learn about complex functional structure? Taking inspiration from other areas of cognitive science, we propose that this is accomplished by harnessing compositionality: complex structure is decomposed into ...
