Cognitive Thermometer
A metaphorical framework that applies machine learning models to measure semantic complexity. By using model learning difficulty metrics—such as sample complexity and convergence speed—it provides a unified, comparable complexity reading for semantic concepts, aiming to replace traditional measurement approaches that rely on specific formal logical languages.

An arXiv paper (arXiv:2610.10724) proposes the perspective of treating machine learning models as a 'cognitive thermometer' for measuring semantic complexity.
The paper argues that machine learning provides a relatively less assumption-dependent avenue for measuring complexity.
Machine learning methods have a circularity problem in model selection, replacing the question of 'which logic to choose' with 'which model to choose'.
