Challenge: Existing methods to learn compositional concepts from previous experience are based on systematic generalization, productivity and substitutivity.
Approach: They propose a retrieval-enhanced meta-learning model to solve the visually grounded compositional concept learning problem by meta-training retrieved primitive concepts from episodes constructed by the retriever.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms other baselines and the retrieval module plays an important role in this compositional learning process.
