contents Humans can categorize with only a few samples despite the numerous features. To mimic this ability, we propose a novel dimension-reduced category representation using a mixture of probabilistic principal component analyzers (mPPCA). Tests on the ${\tt CIFAR-10H}$ dataset demonstrate that mPPCA with only a single principal component for each category effectively predicts human categorization of natural images. We further impose a hierarchical prior on mPPCA to account for new category generalization. mPPCA captures human behavior in our experiments on images with simple size-color combinations. We also provide sufficient and necessary conditions when reducing dimensions in categorization is rational.
