Learning Visual Dynamics Models of Rigid Objects using Relational Inductive Biases

1 code implementation9 Sep 2019 Fabio Ferreira, Lin Shao, Tamim Asfour, Jeannette Bohg

The first, Graph Networks (GN) based approach, considers explicitly defined edge attributes and not only does it consistently underperform an auto-encoder baseline that we modified to predict future states, our results indicate how different edge attributes can significantly influence the predictions.
