On Locality and Length Generalization in Visual Reasoning
This makes human vision distinctly different from most popular computer vision models in use today, which input images globally and in a single shot. A natural question therefore is whether local, sequential vision models may provide any fundamental computational benefits in addition to being biologically more plausible than global models. In this work, we investigate this question from the perspective of visual state tracking and length generalization.

This makes human vision distinctly different from most popular computer vision models in use today, which input images globally and in a single shot.
