🚨 Paper Alert 🚨 Searching for concepts 🦓⚽ in memory 💭 is fundamental to our cognition. But how exactly do we represent 🗺️ and navigate 🏃‍♀️through concept spaces? osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/adwzp

Understanding "complexity" has been a goal of mine. In @surabhisnath.bsky.social and my paper, we build a novel model of complexity judgments for images using the Segment Anything Model, finding surprisingly high correlation between the number of segments and complexity. arxiv.org/abs/2403.03134

Simplicity in Complexity : Explaining Visual Complexity using Deep Segmentation Models

The complexity of visual stimuli plays an important role in many cognitive phenomena, including attention, engagement, memorability, time perception and aesthetic evaluation. Despite its importance, c...

Interesting paper by @jaanaru.bsky.social on human vs AI creativity. Argues while both can produce similar creative products, the internal processes are very different - from neural architecture to the role of conscious experience.

Artificial intelligence and the internal processes of creativity

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems capable of generating creative outputs are reshaping our understanding of creativity. This shift presents an opportunity for creativity researchers to reevaluate t...
