Compositional Compression in Cognition and Culture

CORDIS · observation · Publication date unknown

a model of compositional culture, with a causal account of the leaps and bounds that characterize cultural evolution. These goals are only now possible due to recent advances in program induction and large language models, facilitating the transcription of natural language explanations into an explicit and compositional Language of Thought. In sum, C4 proposes fundamental innovations to our understanding of how humans encode and transmit information, where a framework for compositional compression can unite individual cognition with societal evolution under the common understanding of reuse, recombination, and creative re-engineering of past solutions." compositionality, efficient coding, curriculum learning, collaboration, cultural evolution
