For Human-Like Models, Train on Human-Like Tasks
Bowers et al. (2022) express skepticism about deep neural networks (DNNs) as models of human vision due to DNNs’ failures to account for results from psychological research. We argue that to fairly assess DNNs, we must first train them on more human-like tasks which we hypothesize will induce more human-like behaviors and representations.

The inversion effect on the cubic humanness-uncanniness relation in humanlike agents
The uncanny valley describes the typically nonlinear relation between the esthetic appeal of artificial entities and their human likeness. The effect has been attributed to specialized (configural) processing that increases sensitivity to deviations from
