Latent Features in Similarity Judgments: A Nonparametric Bayesian Approach
One of the central problems in cognitive science is determining the mental representations that underlie human inferences. Solutions to this problem often rely on the analysis of subjective similarity judgments, on the assumption that recognizing likenesses between people, objects, and events is crucial to everyday inference. One such solution is provided by the additive clustering model, which...
متن کاملA Nonparametric Bayesian Method for Inferring Features From Similarity Judgments
The additive clustering model is widely used to infer the features of a set of stimuli from their similarities, on the assumption that similarity is a weighted linear function of common features. This paper develops a fully Bayesian formulation of the additive clustering model, using methods from nonparametric Bayesian statistics to allow the number of features to vary. We use this to explore s...
متن کاملRelational similarity and the nonindependence of features in similarity judgments.
Four experiments examined the hypothesis that simple attributional features and relational features operate differently in the determination of similarity judgments. Forced choice similarity judgments ("Is X or Y more similar to Z?") and similarity rating tasks demonstrate that making the same featural change in two geometric stimuli unequally affects their judged similarity to a third stimulus...
متن کاملRejoinder for “Bayesian Nonparametric Latent Feature Models”
We thank Dr. Dunson for a stimulating discussion of our paper. In his discussion , Dunson makes several comments about our paper, and then proposes an alternative approach to sparse latent feature modelling. We first address his comments, and then turn to his suggested approach. The first comment is that although the utility of sparse latent factor models has been illustrated by West and collea...
