+ **Dataset Summary**
5
+
6
+ This dataset provides digitized versions of classic human categorization benchmarks from seminal cognitive psychology studies by Rosch (1973, 1975) and McCloskey & Glucksberg (1978). These datasets capture human judgments about semantic categories and typicality, offering high-fidelity insights into how humans organize conceptual knowledge.
7
+
8
+ This dataset was released as part of the study "From Tokens to Thoughts: How LLMs and Humans Trade Compression for Meaning" (Shani et al., 2025), which quantitatively compares human and large language model (LLM) conceptual representations using information-theoretic tools.

11
+ **Supported Tasks and Leaderboards**
12
+
13
+ * Conceptual Alignment: Evaluating how well model-derived clusters match human semantic categories.
14
+
15
+ * Typicality Modeling: Assessing the alignment between human-rated item typicality and model-internal semantic distances.
16
+
17
+ * Rate-Distortion Evaluation: Benchmarking conceptual representations with an information-theoretic framework balancing complexity and semantic fidelity.

+ **Dataset Structure**
28
+
29
+ Each row in the dataset corresponds to an item (e.g., “robin”, “sofa”) and includes:
30
+
31
+ * item: the concept/item name.
32
+
33
+ * category: the human-assigned semantic category (e.g., "bird", "furniture").
34
+
35
+ * typicality_score: human-rated typicality of the item for its category.
36
+
37
+ * subdataset: the paper that introduced this datapoint (options: [Rosch1973, Rosch1975, McCloskey1978]).
38
+
39
+ ***The three subdatasets include:***
40
+
41
+ * Rosch1973: 48 items in 8 categories with typicality rankings.
42
+
43
+ * Rosch1975: 552 items in 10 categories with typicality rankings.
44
+
45
+ * McCloskey1978: 449 items in 18 categories with typicality rankings.
