Lake Presents BBT as Spectrum Between Bayesian and Neural Models

Brenden Lake announced the introduction of BBT. The method explores a spectrum between Bayesian and neural net models of behavior instead of treating them as separate choices. Lake suggests that combining elements from both can lead to stronger predictions of behavior. The work was developed with collaborators akjagadish and jiang_gy. It stems from material Lake presented in a keynote address. The announcement points to a video of the talk and an associated research paper.
