RelAtion Network

Relation Networks (RNs) are a class of neural network architectures designed to model relationships between different elements within data, such as objects in an image or entities in a knowledge graph. Current research focuses on improving RNs' ability to handle complex relationships, particularly in challenging scenarios like cluttered environments or incomplete data, through innovations like recursive broadcasting of local dynamics, hierarchical relation modeling, and dynamic relation selection. These advancements are significantly impacting various fields, including robotics (object manipulation), knowledge graph completion, computer vision (pose estimation, semantic segmentation), and natural language processing (entity linking, dialogue systems), by enabling more robust and accurate analysis of relational data.
