Final LIVE Learning Innovation Seminar of the Semester

Mathematical Concepts and their Development: A Computer Vision Approach
|
Sashank Varma, Georgia Tech

Dec 3, 2025 | 12p-1p | 1400 18th Ave S A2009

LIVE's final Learning Seminar for the semester welcomes Professor Sashank Varma from Georgia Tech, sharing his research using computer vision models to understand the development of mathematical concepts. Mathematical thinking is a fundamental aspect of human cognition and cognitive scientists have investigated the mechanisms that underlie our ability to think geometrically and numerically.

|
Prior research has shown that computer vision (CV) models trained on the unrelated task of image classification nevertheless learn latent representations of geometric and numerical concepts similar to those of adults. Building on this demonstrated cognitive alignment, the current study investigates whether CV models also show developmental alignment: whether their performance improvements across training match the developmental progressions observed in children. These findings reveal the promise – and the limitations of using CV models to understand mathematical development. Join us on Wednesday to learn more. Pizza and drinks provided.
