Original Abstract Submitted

A method for visual reasoning. The method includes: providing a network with sets of inputs and sets of outputs, wherein each set of inputs of the sets of inputs mapping to one of a set of outputs corresponding to the set of inputs based on visual information on the set of inputs, and wherein the network comprising a Probabilistic Generative Model (PGM) and a set of modules; determining a posterior distribution over combinations of one or more modules of the set of modules through the PGM, based on the provided sets of inputs and sets of outputs; and applying domain knowledge as one or more posterior regularization constraints on the determined posterior distribution.
