title: Dynamics and context dependence of visual category learning.
abstract: Visual category learning by humans is observed within a paradigm of supervised learning. Mental representations for recognition are reconstructed from the observed data structures by fitting to them predicted classification data obtained from similarity-based models of recognition on the one hand and machine vision systems for image understanding on the other hand. These principles are illustrated with examples concerning the dynamics and the dependence on context of processes of category learning.
