Perceptual estimation obeys Occam's razor
Theoretical models of unsupervised category learning postulate that humans "invent" categories to accommodate new patterns, but tend to group stimuli into a small number of categories. This "Occam's razor" principle is motivated by normative rules of statistical inference. If categories influence perception, then one should find effects of category invention on simple perceptual estimation. In ...

متن کاملParameter estimation, nonlinearity, and Occam's razor.
Nonlinear systems are capable of displaying complex behavior even if this is the result of a small number of interacting time scales. A widely studied case is when complex dynamics emerges out of a nonlinear system being forced by a simple harmonic function. In order to identify if a recorded time series is the result of a nonlinear system responding to a simpler forcing, we develop a discrete ...
متن کاملNewton's Method Obeys Benford's Law
1. INTRODUCTION. In scientific calculations using digital computers and f1oating-point arithmetic, roundoff errors are inevitable, even with the most elementary of functions. For example, a very simple, hypothetical computer with only one decimal point precision, equipped with the IEEE Stand~d "Unbiase5!" Roundin& approximates the function f(x) = x 2 with a function f satisfying f(A) = .2, f(.5...
متن کاملPerceptual texture similarity estimation
This thesis evaluates the ability of computational features to estimate perceptual texture similarity. In the first part of this thesis, we conducted two evaluation experiments on the ability of 51 computational feature sets to estimate perceptual texture similarity using two different evaluation methods, namely, pair-of-pairs based and retrieval based evaluations. These experiments compared th...
