Check out Leonie's (@bossemel.bsky.social) upcoming NeurIPS Datasets and Benchmarks paper about a really interesting new dataset for evaluating models of human visual learning.
From medicine to geo-guessing, humans can get incredibly good at solving visual recognition tasks.
But how is this skill learned, and can we model its progression?
We present CleverBirds, accepted #NeurIPS2025, a large-scale benchmark for visual knowledge tracing.
