Inductive Bias
Assumptions about data structure built into a machine learning model at design time, guiding the model to preferentially search for specific types of solutions in function space. Directly related to generalization error bounds, correct symmetry constraints serve as essentially free regularization.

'Shifting model capacity from scene appearance to object dynamics' is a reallocation of the supervision signal and can be understood as an injection of inductive bias, but it cannot create information that does not exist in the data out of thin air.
Inductive bias refers to assumptions about the structure of the target problem that are pre-embedded during the model design stage, which can narrow the hypothesis space and improve sample efficiency.
Human learning of new skills relies on prior knowledge transfer, causal reasoning, and highly compressed conceptual representations, a capability referred to in cognitive science as inductive bias.
