• Abstract: Despite their irresistible success, deep learning algorithms still heavily rely on annotated data. On the other hand, unsupervised settings pose many challenges, especially about determining the right inductive bias in diverse scenarios. One scalable solution is to make the model generate the supervision for itself by leveraging some part of the input data, which is known as self-supervised learning. In this paper, we use the prediction task as self-supervision and build a novel object-centric model for image sequence representation. In addition to disentangling the notion of objects and the motion dynamics, our compositional structure explicitly handles occlusion and inpaints inferred objects and background for the composition of the predicted frame. With the aid of auxiliary loss functions that promote spatially and temporally consistent object representations, our self-supervised framework can be trained without the help of any manual annotation or pretrained network. Initial experiments confirm that the proposed pipeline is a promising step towards object-centric video prediction.

  We investigate whether end-to-end learning of visual reasoning can be achieved with general-purpose neural networks. We propose a simple and general self-supervised framework which "compresses" each video frame into a small set of tokens. We observe that pretraining is essential to achieve compositional generalization for end-to-end visual reasoning.

Our model learns to associate objects with keypoint coordinates and discovers a graph representation of the system. By learning to perform physical reasoning in the keypoint space, our model automatically generalizes to scenarios with a different number of objects.
