A new benchmark study explores the effectiveness of combining hand-crafted knowledge with learned representations in AI models, particularly when training data is scarce. The research found that different types of knowledge sources can complement each other, leading to significant performance gains, such as a 26-point improvement for ViT-B/16 on ImageNet. However, when knowledge sources are too similar, they tend to substitute for each other, and overly strong prior knowledge can interfere with learned representations, causing performance degradation. The study also identified methods to retrospectively diagnose these outcomes and predict future gains with high accuracy. AI
IMPACT Provides insights into optimizing AI model performance by strategically combining different knowledge sources, especially in data-limited scenarios.
