Abstract:
Abstract reasoning and logic inference are difficult problems for neural networks, yet essential to their applicability in highly structured domains. In this work, the Neural Abstract Reasoner (NAR) is introduced, a memory-augmented architecture capable of learning and using abstract rules. It is shown that, when trained with spectral regularization, NAR achieves 61.13% accuracy on the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus, while also implicitly learning a rigid domain-specific language structure. Intuition is provided for the effects of spectral regularization in the domain of abstract reasoning based on theoretical generalization bounds and Solomonoff's theory of inductive inference.
