• Abstract: Building models of the world from observation, i.e., induction, is one of the major challenges in machine learning. In order to be useful, models need to maintain accuracy when used in novel situations, i.e., generalize. In addition, they should be easy to interpret and efficient to train. Prior work has investigated these concepts in the context of object-oriented representations inspired by human cognition. In this paper, we develop a novel learning algorithm that is substantially more powerful than these previous methods. Our thorough experiments, including ablation tests and comparison with neural baselines, demonstrate a significant improvement over the state-of-the-art.

  We propose a variant of gradual stacking called MIDAS that can speed up language model training by up to 40%. MIDAS is not only training-efficient but surprisingly also has an inductive bias towards improving downstream tasks. We conjecture the underlying reason for this inductive bias by exploring the connection of stacking to looped models.

  We evaluate whether explanations can improve human decision-making in practical scenarios of machine learning model development. To our surprise, we did not find evidence of significant improvement on tasks when users were provided with any of the saliency maps. These findings suggest caution regarding the usefulness and potential for misunderstanding in saliency-based explanations.

  Humans read texts at a varying pace, while machine learning models treat each token in the same way. In this paper, we convert this intuition into a set of novel models with fixation-guided parallel RNNs or layers. We find that, interestingly, the fixation duration predicted by neural networks bears some resemblance to humans' fixation.
