Teaching AI to See the World More Like Humans Do
Aligning AI vision models with human knowledge, improves their robustness and ability to generalize.
TL;DR
- AI vision systems organize visual information differently than humans, leading to errors in tasks like identifying the 'odd one out'.
- A new three-step method aligns AI models with human knowledge by using human-like judgments to generate a large dataset for fine-tuning.
- The alignment process restructures AI's internal representations to better reflect human conceptual hierarchies.
- Aligned AI models show improved performance on cognitive science tasks and standard AI benchmarks like few-shot learning and distribution shift.
- This research is a step towards creating more intuitive, trustworthy, robust, and reliable AI systems.
