A Structural Theory of Cognitive Representation and Problem Solving,Contexts, Invariance, and the Knowledge Space

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper proposes a minimal structural framework for cognitive representation and problem solving, emphasizing the role of context, invariance recognition, and representative selection. It introduces a Knowledge Space composed of a Concept Graph and a Procedure Graph to formalize these operations without relying on complex inference or learning mechanisms. Illustrative examples and a weak-solver demonstration show how proper representational organization can simplify problem solving and delineate success and failure conditions.

Learning to Reason with Curriculum II: Compositional Generalization

arXiv:2606. 27721v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Compositional generalization, the ability to solve complex problems by combining solutions to simpler sub-problems, is a fundamental capability of both natural and artificial intelligence, and a key mechanism underlying chain-of-thought reasoning.

How Causality Bridges the Semantic Gap

The paper introduces CausalBridge, a framework that uses causal structure to assign semantics to unnamed variables in numerical measurements. By discovering a causal graph from the data and solving for variable embeddings constrained by this graph, the method aligns variable meanings with a language model, outperforming association‑based approaches. Experiments on questionnaires and robotics scenarios show high accuracy even when most variable names are masked, enabling rapid and cost‑effective system naming.
