A Compositional Paradigm for Foundation Models: Towards Smarter Robotic Agents
This work addresses the adaptation challenge for foundation models in robotics, but appears incremental as it combines existing principles.
The paper tackles the problem of foundation models struggling to adapt to dynamic real-world scenarios without full retraining, proposing the application of continual learning and compositionality principles to develop more flexible and efficient AI solutions.
The birth of Foundation Models brought unprecedented results in a wide range of tasks, from language to vision, to robotic control. These models are able to process huge quantities of data, and can extract and develop rich representations, which can be employed across different domains and modalities. However, they still have issues in adapting to dynamic, real-world scenarios without retraining the entire model from scratch. In this work, we propose the application of Continual Learning and Compositionality principles to foster the development of more flexible, efficient and smart AI solutions.
