Computational Cognitive Science

Theoretical principles diagram.

People's intuitive domain theories generate hypothesis spaces for concepts that could explain the features of objects that they observe. These hypothesis spaces can then be used to dramatically speed up learning, enabling people to generalize new features from very few examples. (Image by Prof. Joshua Tenenbaum.)
