Determinants of human compositional generalization

2022-03-30

Abstract excerpt

<p>Generalisation (or transfer) is the ability to repurpose knowledge in novel settings. It is often asserted that generalisation is an important ingredient of human intelligence, but its extent, nature and determinants have proved controversial. Here, we re-examine this question with a new paradigm that formalises the transfer learning problem as one of recomposing existing functions to solve unseen problems. We...
