"Noisy" Bongard Problems include extraneous details that distract from the solution property varying between examples; more specifically noise is properties independent of the solution property that vary between examples. "Minimalist" Bongard Problems only vary details absolutely necessary to communicate the solution.

Bongard Problems have varying degrees of noisiness. Only include here BPs that are very noisy or BPs that are minimalist in the extreme sense; no properties vary across examples other than than those that directly depend on the solution property. Very few if any of Bongard's original Problems are minimalist. Minimalist Problems have the smallest "world" possible that can communicate the solution idea.

Left examples have the keyword "noisy" on the OEBP. Right examples have the keyword "minim."

Noise Bongard Problems

There are extraneous details included in the examples that distract from the solution property.

"Noisy" Bongard Problems include extraneous details that distract from the solution property in all examples. (The "world" of examples the Bongard Problem sorts is arbitrarily specific and unrelated to the solution.) "Minimalist" Bongard Problems only vary details absolutely necessary to communicate the solution.

"Noisy" Bongard Problems vs. "minimalist" Bongard Problems.

"Noisy" Bongard Problems include extraneous details all the examples that distract from the solution property. (The "world" of examples the Bongard Problem sorts is arbitrarily specific and unrelated to the solution.) "Minimalist" Bongard Problems only vary details absolutely necessary to communicate the solution.

Bongard Problems have varying degrees of noisiness. Only include here examples that are very noisy or minimal (in the extreme way; no other properties vary than those that depend on the solution property). Very few if any of the Bongard's original Problems are minimal.

"Minimalist" Bongard Problems only vary details absolutely necessary to communicate the solution.

Bongar Problems have varying degrees of noisiness. Only include here examples that are very noisy or minimal (in the extreme way; no other properties vary than those that depend on the solution property). Very few if any of the Bongard's original Problems are minimal.

For example, BP1 is not noisy because it has no distracting property that all its boxes satisfy. However, BP1 is also not minimal because the examples vary in other details besides emptiness including number of objects, shape, size, etc.

Bongar Problems have varying degrees of noisiness. Only include here examples that are very noisy or minimal in the extreme.

Left examples have the keyword "noisy" on the OEBP. Right examples have the keyword "minim" on the OEBP.

For example, BP2 is not noisy because it has no distracting property that all its boxes satisfy. However, BP1 is also not minimal because the examples vary in other details besides existence including number of objects, shape, size, etc.
