Researchers have developed the HOLMES model, a computational framework designed for learning hierarchical latent structures through online inference. This model combines a nested Chinese Restaurant Process prior with sequential Monte Carlo inference, enabling tractable trial-by-trial inference over multilevel representations without requiring explicit supervision. Simulations demonstrated that HOLMES can match the predictive performance of simpler, flat models while learning more compact representations that facilitate rapid transfer of knowledge to new tasks and abstract concepts.
