In the first paper \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/1706.01427\">A simple neural network module for relational reasoning<\/a> \u2014 we describe a Relation Network (RN) and show that it can perform at superhuman levels on a challenging task. While in the second paper \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/1706.01433\">Visual Interaction Networks<\/a> \u2014 we describe a general purpose model that can predict the future state of a physical object based purely on visual observations.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/deepmind.com\/blog\/neural-approach-relational-reasoning\/\">https:\/\/deepmind.com\/blog\/neural-approach-relational-reasoning\/<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teaches artificial intelligence superhuman relational reasoning.
