Simplicity and Complexity of Probabilistically Defined Concepts

2025-06-04

Abstract excerpt

<p>Human concept learning is known to be impaired by conceptual complexity: simpler concepts are easier to learn, and more complex ones are more diﬃcult. However the simplicity bias has been studied almost exclusively in the context of deterministic concepts deﬁned over Boolean features, and is comparatively unexplored in the more general case of probabilistic concepts deﬁned over continuous features. This paper r...
