SUMMARY:Michael Vertolli - ICS Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Michael Vertolli of the Institute of Cognitive Science will be giving a colloquium talk on Thursday, February 13th, at noon, in room 2203 of Dunton Tower. Refreshments will be available before the talk. All are welcome.



Coherence in the Visual Imagination: 



A Computational Model and Comparison



A cognitive model of the visual imagination will produce “incoherent” results when it adds elements to an imagined scene that come from different contexts (e.g., “computer” and “cheese” with “mouse”). We approach this problem with a model that infers coherence relations from co-occurrence probabilities of labels in images. We show that this algorithm’s serial traversal of networks of co-occurrence relations for a particular query produces greater coherence than one leading model in the field of computational coherence: Thagard’s connectionist model.
