Measured effects reported in the paper
| What was changed | Where | Measured | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Use guided attention rather than self-attention (ablation) | GAMR · SVRT same-different tasks | relative test accuracy: 11.1% | Helped |
| Use guided attention and memory rather than no attention or memory (ablation) | GAMR · SVRT same-different tasks | relative test accuracy: 35.6% | Helped |
| Use guided attention rather than self-attention (ablation) | GAMR · SVRT spatial-relation tasks | relative test accuracy: 4.5% | Helped |
| Use guided attention and memory rather than no attention or memory (ablation) | GAMR · SVRT spatial-relation tasks | relative test accuracy: 10.4% | Helped |
| Add instance normalization (ablation) | GAMR · SVRT reasoning tasks | test accuracy | Helped |
| Add the controller output to the decision process (ablation) | GAMR · SVRT same-different tasks | test accuracy | Helped |
| Retain the relational vector in the decision process (ablation) | GAMR · SVRT | test accuracy | Helped |
| Retain the guided-attention vector when producing context vectors (ablation) | GAMR · SVRT | test accuracy | Helped |
| Use feature-channel gating rather than equal weighting (ablation) | GAMR · SVRT | test accuracy | Helped |
| Transfer learned routines across tasks with a shared abstract rule | GAMR · SVRT zero-shot task transfer | test accuracy | Helped |
| Increase test image scale from 1 to 1.5 without fine-tuning | GAMR · SVRT scale robustness | test accuracy: 94.77 -> 71.01; 97.34 -> 75.09 | Hurt |
| Add Gaussian white noise at 0 mean and .05 variance | GAMR · SVRT noise robustness | test accuracy | No clear effect |
