[HTML][HTML] Clone-structured graph representations enable flexible learning and vicarious evaluation of cognitive maps

D George, RV Rikhye, N Gothoskar… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Cognitive maps are mental representations of spatial and conceptual relationships in an
environment, and are critical for flexible behavior. To form these abstract maps, the …

3DP3: 3D scene perception via probabilistic programming

N Gothoskar, M Cusumano-Towner… - Advances in …, 2021 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We present 3DP3, a framework for inverse graphics that uses inference in a structured generative
model of objects, scenes, and images. 3DP3 uses (i) voxel models to represent the 3D …

The enormous popularity of smartphones, their rich sensing capabilities, and the data they
have about their users have lead to millions of apps being developed and used. However, …

Smcp3: Sequential monte carlo with probabilistic program proposals

…, M Ghavamizadeh, N Gothoskar… - International …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
This paper introduces SMCP3, a method for automatically implementing custom sequential
Monte Carlo samplers for inference in probabilistic programs. Unlike particle filters and …

3d neural embedding likelihood: Probabilistic inverse graphics for robust 6d pose estimation

G Zhou, N Gothoskar, L Wang… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - openaccess.thecvf.com
The ability to perceive and understand 3D scenes is crucial for many applications in
computer vision and robotics. Inverse graphics is an appealing approach to 3D scene …

Solving the baby intuitions benchmark with a hierarchically bayesian theory of mind

T Zhi-Xuan, N Gothoskar, F Pollok, D Gutfreund… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
To facilitate the development of new models to bridge the gap between machine and
human social intelligence, the recently proposed Baby Intuitions Benchmark (arXiv:2102.11938) …

Learning higher-order sequential structure with cloned HMMs

A Dedieu, N Gothoskar, S Swingle, W Lehrach… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2019 - arxiv.org
Variable order sequence modeling is an important problem in artificial and natural intelligence.
While overcomplete Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), in theory, have the capacity to …

Query training: Learning a worse model to infer better marginals in undirected graphical models with hidden variables

M Lázaro-Gredilla, W Lehrach, N Gothoskar… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - ojs.aaai.org
Probabilistic graphical models (PGMs) provide a compact representation of knowledge that
can be queried in a flexible way: after learning the parameters of a graphical model once, …

Memorize-Generalize: An online algorithm for learning higher-order sequential structure with cloned Hidden Markov Models

RV Rikhye, JS Guntupalli, N Gothoskar… - BioRxiv, 2019 - biorxiv.org
