We introduce KiloGram, a resource for studying abstract visual reasoning in humans and
machines. Drawing on the history of tangram puzzles as stimuli in cognitive science, we …

People have expectations about how colors map to concepts in visualizations, and they are
better at interpreting visualizations that match their expectations. Traditionally, studies on …

Discussion of AI alignment (alignment between humans and AI systems) has focused on
value alignment, broadly referring to creating AI systems that share human values. We argue …

People have associations between colors and concepts that influence the way they interpret
color meaning in information visualizations (eg, charts, maps, diagrams). These associations …

Visual communication through information visualizations (eg, graphs, charts, maps,

Adults readily coordinate on temporary pacts about how to refer to things in conversation.
Young children are also capable of forming pacts with peers given appropriate experimenter …

The amount of information conveyed by linguistic conventions depends on their precision,
yet the codes that humans and other animals use to communicate are quite ambiguous: they …

Researchers have now started using Bayesian hierarchical modeling to study semantic
representations. Ramotowska et al.(2024) have contributed to the further development of …

Adults readily form pacts, or temporary agreements about referent names, over the course of
conversation. Young children fail to do so with peers, but recent evidence suggests that …

A long tradition of studies in psycholinguistics has examined the formation and
generalization of ad hoc conventions in reference games, showing how newly acquired …
