Title: Beyond Object Recognition: A New Benchmark towards Object Concept Learning. Abstract: Understanding objects is a central building block of artificial intelligence, especially for embodied AI. Even though object recognition excels with deep learning, current machines still struggle to learn higher-level knowledge, e.g., what attributes does an object have, what can we do with an object. In this work, we propose a challenging Object Concept Learning (OCL) task to push the envelope of object understanding. It requires machines to reason out object affordances and simultaneously give the reason: what attributes make an object possesses these affordances. To support OCL, we build a densely annotated knowledge base including extensive labels for three levels of object concept: categories, attributes, and affordances, together with their causal relations. By analyzing the causal structure of OCL, we present a strong baseline, Object Concept Reasoning Network (OCRN). It leverages causal intervention and concept instantiation to infer the three levels following their causal relations. In extensive experiments, OCRN effectively infers the object knowledge while follows the causalities well. Our data and code will be publicly available.
