AI Models Show Different Learning Paths To Abstract Reasoning

AI models show different paths to abstract reasoning: Function vs Direct Prediction. Two approaches explored: inferring latent functions or directly predicting new test outputs using neural networks on ARC dataset.

  Overview

The paper explores whether it's better to infer a latent function that explains a few examples, or to directly predict new test outputs using a neural network.
The experiments are conducted on the ARC dataset, which contains abstract reasoning tasks.
The models are trained on synthetic data generated by prompting large language...
