(2016, background): “n the sections that follow. 8 3.1 The Characters Challenge The rst challenge concerns handwritten character recognition, a classic problem for comparing dierent types of machine learning algorithms. Hofstadter (1985) argued that the problem of recognizing characters in all the ways people do { both ”

A generative vision model that trains with high data efficiency and breaks text-based CAPTCHAs (2017, background): “…that generalize well beyond their training distribution is an important step toward the flexibility Douglas Hofstadter envisioned when he said that “for any program to handle letterforms with the flexibility that human beings do, it would have to possess full-scale artificial intelli-gence” ( 8 ).”

Counterfactual thinking about actions and failures to act. (2000, background): “This type of thinking plays a role in many aspects of cognition, including formulating counterexamples to deductive conclusions (eg, Johnson-Laird & Byrne, 1991), deriving subgoals in problem solving (eg, Ginsberg, 1986; Keane, 1997), and intending to improve in creative discovery (eg, Hofstadter, 1”
The psychology of coordination and common knowledge. (2014, background): “…in a Prisoner’s Dilemma because they each assume that both they and their partner rationally see the wisdom of mutual cooperation, and know that the other sees it, knows that the other knows that they know that the other sees it, and so on (see Colman, 2003; Fischer, 2009; Hofstadter, 1985).”
Temporal order and the perceived mutability of events: implications for blame assignment (1990, background): “Some aspects of reality appear mutable and are easily imagined otherwise, whereas others appear immutable and are resistant to mental modification (Hofstadter, 1979, 1985; Kahneman & Miller, 1986; Kahneman & Varey, 1990).”
