Keywords: Animacy
Abstract: We explore animacy perception, examining the interplay between bottom-up (sensory) and top-down (cognitive) processes. Motion is highlighted as a key factor in bottom-up mechanisms, while prior knowledge and social context are discussed in the context of top-down influences. We emphasizes the synergistic relationship between these processes and notes challenges faced by purely data-driven models in capturing the nuanced nature of animacy perception. Overall, the paper advocates for a holistic approach that considers both sensory input and higher-level cognitive factors in understanding animacy.
