One-liner This paper studies and confirms the effectiveness of compositionality through human experiments from data generated by gaussian processes regression, supporting it’s case that human learning is inherently compositional. TLDR This paper uses eight carefully designed experiments to probe whether an inductive bias for compositionality exists in human learning Two class of theories around function learning exist: rule-based, parametric, strong inductive bias vs.
