It is unknown how quickly these heuristics can be learned from experience. We show, analytically and empirically, that only a few training samples lead to substantial progress in learning. We focus on three families of heuristics: single-cue decision making, lexicographic decision making, and tallying. Our empirical analysis is the most extensive to date, employing 63 natural data sets on diverse subjects. cp:subject: Neural Information Processing Systems http://nips.cc/ pdf:docinfo:subject: Neural Information Processing Systems http://nips.cc/ pdf:docinfo:custom:Created: 2015 pdf:docinfo:creator: Özgür ?im?ek, Marcus Buckmann meta:author: Özgür ?im?ek, Marcus Buckmann meta:creation-date: 2016-02-22T13:06:20Z created: 2016-02-22T13:06:20Z access_permission:extract_for_accessibility: true Creation-Date: 2016-02-22T13:06:20Z lastpage: 3149 pdf:docinfo:custom:Type: Conference Proceedings Editors: C.
