Transfer Learning in Visual and Relational Reasoning
share
Transfer learning is becoming the de facto solution for vision and text encoders in the front-end processing of machine learning solutions. Utilizing vast amounts of knowledge in pre-trained models and subsequent fine-tuning allows achieving better performance in domains where labeled data is limited. In this paper, we analyze the efficiency of transfer learning in visual reasoning by introducing a new model (SAMNet) and testing it on two datasets: COG and CLEVR. Our new model achieves state-of-the-art accuracy on COG and shows significantly better generalization capabilities compared to the baseline. We also formalize a taxonomy of transfer learning for visual reasoning around three axes: feature, temporal, and reasoning transfer. Based on extensive experimentation of transfer learning on each of the two datasets, we show the performance of the new model along each axis.
