Demos of experiments for The Human Kernel
This page contains links to the experiments described in Section 4 of The Human Kernel [bibtex].
- Part 1: Extrapolating from smooth functions.
In the first experiment, described in Section 4.2 of the paper, participants were asked to exptrapolate from several functions, where the true underlying relationships were draws from a Gaussian process with a rational quadratic kernel.

- Part 2: Extrapolating from smooth functions.
In the second experiment, described in Section 4.3 of the paper, participants were asked to exptrapolate from functions that are difficult or impossible for conventional Gaussian process methods to capture.

- Part 3: Preference for smoothness/simplicity.
In the third experiment, described in Section 4.4 of the paper, participants were asked to express their preferences over different kinds of explanations or underlying relationships, given a small number of data points.
