Due to the scarcity of available data, deep learning does not perform well on few-shot tasks. However, human can quickly learn feature a new category from very few samples. Nevertheless, previous work has rarely considered how mimic cognitive behavior and apply it learning. This paper introduces Gestalt psychology proposes Gestalt-Guided Image Understanding, plug-and-play method called GGIU. Re...

We investigated whether adults and infants aged 3, 5, and 9 months perceive the unity and boundaries of visible objects in accord with the Gestalt relations of color and texture similarity, good continuation, or good form. Adults and infants were presented with simple but unfamiliar displays in which all three Gestalt relations specified either one object or two objects-perception of the object...

The visual system leverages organizational regularities of perceptual elements to create meaningful representations of the world. One clear example of such function, which has been formalized in the Gestalt psychology principles, is the perceptual grouping of simple visual elements (e.g., lines and arcs) into unitary objects (e.g., forms and shapes). The present study sought to characterize aut...

This book is intended as a Festschrift on the occasion of the 75th birthday of Lothar Spillmann, eminent visual experimentalist in the tradition of Gestalt psychology, who has done influential work in integrating phenomenological, psychophysical, and neurophysiological findings in his quest for a Neo-Gestalt neuroscience. Spillmann’s laboratory has attracted a large number of psychophysicists a...

This article is an attempt to connect some of the basic theoretical assumptions of Gestalt theory with the practice of living in the 21st century against a background of seemingly uncontrollable, violent sectarian/tribal conflict. Gestalt theory is located within a postmodern epistemology whose strengths are critically explored, as well as the tendency toward a skepticism that can deteriorate i...

Abstract: The present study proposes an investigation into the reasons why Merleau-Ponty recognizes, in Goldstein’s incorporation of figure-ground notion from Gestalt Psychology, convergence between contemporary science and phenomenological philosophy. It is about understanding how, insofar as it reveals power centering that operates concreteness existence organisms surroundings, figure-backgro...

This paper will examine gestalt therapy in light of clinical and theoretical insights from self psychology and intersubjectivity theory. These theories have stirred a great deal of controversy in the psychoanalytic community, and many practitioners claim that either one or both of the theories has revolutionized their approach to treatment. The theories challenge basic assumptions of psychoanal...

In this paper we propose a new framework of speech generation by imitating “infants’ vocal imiation”. Most of the speech synthesizers take a phoneme sequence as input and generate speech by converting each of the phonemes. However infants usually acquire speech generation ability without text or phoneme. As developmental psychology states, from the utterances of their parents, they acquire the ...
