Primitive Based Adversarial Training

Primitive-based adversarial training focuses on improving machine learning models' ability to understand and generalize from compositional data, where complex concepts are built from simpler, fundamental "primitives." Current research explores how different model architectures, including transformers and neural networks, learn and represent these primitives, often employing adversarial training techniques to enhance robustness and generalization. This approach is significant because it addresses limitations in current models' ability to handle unseen combinations of features, leading to improved performance in tasks like zero-shot learning and scene understanding, with applications ranging from robotics to computer-aided design.
