(1/5) Very excited to announce the publication of Bayesian Models of Cognition: Reverse Engineering the Mind. More than a decade in the making, it's a big (600+ pages) beautiful book covering both the basics and recent work: mitpress.mit.edu/978026204941...

Could you kindly add me? Appreciate it!

Could you kindly add me to this group? Thanks!

Happy to answer other questions about the Corpus by email. We note the issue that affects the first turn on p.18 of the paper in the section titled "Downtime." Really like the idea of assembling a community of people working on similar questions so we can share issues / fixes.
