CoRe Lab

The Cognitive Reasoning (CoRe) Lab is affiliated with the School of Psychological and Cognitive Sciences and the Institute for Artificial Intelligence at PKU. Our projects span three directions:

  • Abstract Reasoning: analogy, causality, IQ, number sense, physics, and tool-use.
  • Visually Grounded Reasoning: affordance, container, functionality, hoi, intent, scene parsing, scene reconstruction, and scene synthesis.
  • Interactive Reasoning: communication, manipulation, TAMP, teaming, UAV, VR, and XAI.
