• Generalization in anti-causal learning (2018, background): “Further, Ullman et al. (2010) directly describe theory acquisition as a stochastic search .”
• Multistability and Perceptual Inference (2012, background): “For example, it has been suggested that the acquisition of logical concepts could arise from MCMC-based diffusion through a space of grammars (Ullman et al., 2010).”
• Learning a theory of causality. (2011, background): “In recent work Ullman, Goodman, and Tenenbaum (2010) have shown that stochastic search methods can provide a practical and psychologically plausible means of constructing abstract theories.”
