| Challenge: | Language places subtle constraints on how we make inductive inferences. |
| Approach: | They propose to use language to constrain inductive inferences by replicating an experiment . they find subtle differences arise in general purpose statistical learners like VLMs . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can be used to extend inductive inferences to humans using language . the model can extend properties of a category to other members of the population, the authors show . |
