Discovering Symbolic Cognitive Models from Human and Animal Behavior

Pablo Samuel Castro, Nenad Tomasev, Ankit Anand, Navodita Sharma, Rishika Mohanta, Aparna Dev +11

ICML 2025spotlight

Symbolic models play a key role in cognitive science, expressing computationally precise hypotheses about how the brain implements a cognitive process. Identifying an appropriate model typically requires a great deal of effort and ingenuity on the part of a human scientist. Here, we adapt FunSearch…

Cognitive Model Discovery via Disentangled RNNs

Kevin J Miller, Maria K Eckstein, Matthew Botvinick, Zeb Kurth-Nelson

NeurIPS 2023poster

Computational cognitive models are a fundamental tool in behavioral neuroscience. They embody in software precise hypotheses about the cognitive mechanisms underlying a particular behavior. Constructing these models is typically a difficult iterative process that requires both inspiration from the l…
