Outline
This paper proposes a novel approach that combines the expressive power of deep neural networks with the flexibility of databases to address the limitations of conventional neural network learning, namely the difficulty of post-training knowledge modification. By decomposing the image classification task into image similarity measurement using pre-trained embeddings and fast nearest neighbor search using a knowledge database, we build a flexible and simple visual memory. This visual memory offers three core capabilities: flexible data addition, from individual samples to entire classes and billions of data sets; data removal through unlearning and memory pruning; and an interpretable decision-making mechanism that enables intervention for behavior control.
Takeaways, Limitations
•
Takeaways:
◦
A new paradigm is presented to overcome the difficulty of knowledge modification after neural network learning.

Ensure scalability and ease of maintenance through flexible data management (addition, removal).
◦
Controlling model behavior and improving reliability through interpretable decision-making mechanisms.
◦
A new perspective on knowledge representation in deep visual models.
•
Limitations:
◦
The performance of the proposed visual memory has not been compared with that of existing monolithic neural network methods.
