Lateralization of Social Interaction Perception. ABSTRACT: Social perception emerges early, occurs automatically, and is used ubiquitously in daily life. Understanding its neural underpinnings is critical to cognitive neuroscience. A region in the right posterior superior temporal sulcus (STS) that selectively supports social interaction perception has been found by contrasting brain responses to interacting and non-interacting […]

Differentiable Tree Operations Promote Compositional Generalization. ABSTRACT: In the context of structure to structure transformation tasks, sequences of discrete symbolic operations (e.g., op codes or programs) are an important tool but are difficult to learn due to their non-differentiability. To support learning sequences of symbolic operations, we propose a differentiable tree interpreter which compiles high-level […]
