Such black-box models tend to exploit dataset biases instead of actually reasoning. The authors argue that compositional reasoning should be built into the model's structure, and they split the task into two learned… 2. **[CLEVR: A Diagnostic Dataset for Compositional Language and Elementary Visual Reasoning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/johnson-2016-clevr-diagnostic-dataset-compositional-language/)** *(2016 · 464 citations)* Visual question answering (VQA) benchmarks are meant to measure whether systems can reason about images. In practice, models can score well on them by exploiting statistical regularities in the questions, and a single wrong answer can come from several different failures. CLEVR is a synthetic diagnostic benchmark… ## All works 12 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Densely Connected Convolutional Networks ↗](https://doi.org/10.1109/cvpr.2017.243) IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings - IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings · no summary yet**Gao Ming Huang et al.*2017 · 46,310 citations* 2. **[Exploring the Limits of Weakly Supervised Pretraining ↗](https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-01216-8_12) Lecture notes in computer science · no summary yet**Dhruv Kumar Mahajan et al.*2018 · 1,295 citations* 3. **[Feature Denoising for Improving Adversarial Robustness ↗](https://doi.org/10.1109/cvpr.2019.00059) IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings - IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings · no summary yet**Cihang Xie et al.*2019 · 915 citations* 4. **[Inferring and Executing Programs for Visual Reasoning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/johnson-2017-inferring-executing-programs-visual-reasoning/) [IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/ieee-international-conference-on-computer-vision-iccv/)**Justin Johnson, Bharath Hariharan, Laurens van der Maaten, et al.*2017 · 557 citations* 5.
