Humans really don't need chins

Popular Science

Science Biology Evolution Humans really don't need chins Homo sapiens are the only primates that have them, but they don't make us special. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Auguste Rodin's is one of the art world's most recognizable images. The monumental depiction of a man hunched forward, right hand resting against his chin, is synonymous with humanity's capacity for deep contemplation, abstract thinking, and self-reflection. But while Rodin crafted his work of art in hopes of highlighting our unique cognitive abilities, the sculpture inadvertently highlights another facet that sets us apart from all other species: are the only primates to boast chins.

Neural Information Processing Systems

Inthis paper we propose aframework to systematically investigate bias and generalization in deep generative models of images. Inspired byexperimental methods fromcognitivepsychology,weprobe each learning algorithm with carefully designed training datasets tocharacterize when and howexisting models generate novelattributes and their combinations.
