FiLM layers influence neural network computation via a simple , feature-wise affine transformation based on conditioning information. We show that FiLM layers are highly effective for visual reasoning — answering image-related questions which require a multi-step, high-level process — a task which has proven difficult for standard deep learning methods that do not explicitly model reasoning. Specifically, we show on visual reasoning tasks that FiLM layers 1) halve state-of-the-art error for the CLEVR benchmark, 2) modulate features in a coherent manner, 3) are robust to ablations and architectural modifications, and 4) generalize well to challenging, new data from few examples or even zero-shot.Show less >
