Research Type Experimental extensive experiments of the type of cognitive psychology demonstrate that the examples-driven black box DL cannot see through superficial variations in visual representations and distill the abstract notion of natural number, a task that children perform with high accuracy and confidence. We conduct a family of cognitive experiments to test if DL can, under various levels of supervision, learn the simple concept of natural numbers by observing sample images containing a varying number of objects in different positions, orientations, sizes, shapes and colors.

Pseudocode No No structured pseudocode or explicitly labeled algorithm blocks were found. The paper describes the proposed deterministic DCNN algorithm conceptually and visually through figures and text.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide a specific link or explicit statement about the release of its source code.
Open Datasets No The paper describes synthetic training images (e.g., 'The training images for class n (n = 1, 2, , 6) consist of n white solid circles in black background (see Fig. 1)'). However, it does not provide concrete access information (link, DOI, specific citation with authors/year) for a publicly available or open dataset.
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions 'test images' but does not explicitly provide specific train/validation/test dataset split information (e.g., percentages, sample counts, or citations to predefined splits) needed to reproduce the data partitioning.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory) used for running its experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not specify any software dependencies with version numbers (e.g., specific libraries like PyTorch or TensorFlow, or their versions).
Experiment Setup No The paper describes the DCNN configuration (Table 1) but does not provide specific experimental setup details such as concrete hyperparameter values (e.g., learning rate, batch size, number of epochs) or specific optimizer settings.
