Prof. Felix Wichmann, Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience, Technical University, Berlin
Cognitive Science, Machine Learning and Heuristics

Abstract: The last decade has seen a silent "revolution" in a branch of computational statistics now known as "machine learning." First, modern machine learning offers new insights into the one of the most fundamental questions of cognitive science: categorization. Second, it offers powerful exploratory algorithms to find structure in large datasets. Based on such algorithms we have developed methods that allow perceptual scientists to identify the critical aspects of a stimulus determining behaviour. Finally, I will comment on the implications of machine learning for theories claiming that many human decisions---categorizations---are based on simple heuristics.
