Decomposing visual model policies into internal modular policies can enhance visual reasoning and object recognition tasks similar to language models.

Motivation

While the current approach focuses on language models, the concept of internal policy decomposition may be beneficial in other domains like computer vision, where complex reasoning and object recognition tasks are prevalent. This could lead to more efficient training and improved performance of vision models by optimizing specific layers for distinct subtasks.

Proposed Method

Apply the bottom-up policy optimization approach to a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture used for visual tasks. Decompose the CNN into internal modular policies and fine-tune each module using a reinforcement learning framework tailored to visual reasoning challenges. Evaluate the efficacy by comparing the performance on standard visual reasoning benchmarks before and after policy decomposition.

Expected Contribution

This research could demonstrate that internal policy decomposition is a versatile technique applicable beyond language models, thus advancing our understanding and optimization of visual processing in AI.

Required Resources

Access to large-scale visual datasets, computational resources for training deep CNNs, expertise in computer vision and reinforcement learning.
