Category Generation

چکیده
People exhibit the ability to imagine new category instances and new categories, with examples ranging from everyday activities like cooking to scientific discovery. This ability, which we call category generation, is not addressed by standard models of category learning, which focus on classifying instances rather than generating them. We develop a probabilistic account of category generation and evaluate it using two behavioral experiments. Our results confirm that people find it natural to generate new category instances and suggest that our model accounts well for this ability.

متن کاملIdentifying the Executive Challenges of the New Generation of Hospital Accreditation in Iran
Background: Given that hospitals are one of the pillars of the health system, reforming the health system is not possible without improving the performance of hospitals. Accreditation is a regular assessment of hospitals that emphasizes on continuous quality improvement and patient safety. This study aimed to identify the challenges of the new generation of hospital accreditation using the Thre...
متن کاملOn the Cofibrant Generation of Model Categories
The paper studies the problem of the cofibrant generation of a model category. We prove that, assuming Vopěnka’s principle, every cofibrantly generated model category is Quillen equivalent to a combinatorial model category. We discuss cases where this result implies that the class of weak equivalences in a cofibrantly generated model category is accessibly embedded. We also prove a necessary co...
متن کاملA probabilistic account of exemplar and category generation.
People are capable of imagining and generating new category exemplars and categories. This ability has not been addressed by previous models of categorization, most of which focus on classifying category exemplars rather than generating them. We develop a formal account of exemplar and category generation which proposes that category knowledge is represented by probability distributions over ex...
متن کاملCategory-specific activations during word generation reflect experiential sensorimotor modalities
According to the sensorimotor theory of lexicosemantic organization, semantic representations are neurally distributed and anatomically linked to category-specific sensory areas. Previous functional neuroimaging studies have demonstrated category specificity in lexicosemantic representations. However, little evidence is available from word generation paradigms, which provide access to semantic ...
