    "title": "Recommendation as Generalization: Evaluating Cognitive Models in the Wild",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The explosion of data generated during human interactions on-\nline presents an opportunity for cognitive scientists to evaluate\ntheir models on popular real-world tasks outside the confines\nof the laboratory. We demonstrate this approach by evaluating\ntwo cognitive models of generalization against two machine\nlearning approaches to recommendation on an online dataset of\nover 100K human playlist selections. Across two experiments\nwe demonstrate that a model from cognitive science can both\nbe efficiently implemented at scale and can capture generaliza-\ntion trends in human recommendation judgments which nei-\nther machine learning model is capable of replicating. We use\nthese results to illustrate the opportunity internet-scale datasets\noffer to cognitive scientists, as well as to underscore the impor-\ntance of using insights from cognitive modeling to supplement\nthe standard predictive-analytic approach taken by many exist-\ning machine learning approaches.",
