A Guide to Model Composition

We’re so glad you’re here. You can expect all the best TNS content to arrive Monday through Friday to keep you on top of the news and at the top of your game.

Consider an AI-powered image recognition app designed to identify and classify wildlife photos. You upload a picture taken during a hike, and within moments, the app not only identifies the animal in the photo but also provides detailed information about its species, habitat and conservation status. This kind of app can be built through model composition — a technique where multiple AI models collaborate to analyze and interpret the image from various perspectives.

Model composition in this context might involve a sequence of specialized models: one for detecting the animal in the image, another for classifying it into broad categories (e.g., bird, mammal and reptile) and yet another set of models that work together to determine the specific species. This layered approach offers a nuanced analysis that exceeds the capabilities of a single AI model.

At its core, model composition is a strategy in machine learning that combines multiple models to solve a complex problem that cannot be easily addressed by a single model. This approach leverages the strengths of each individual model, providing more nuanced analyses and improved accuracy. Model composition can be seen as assembling a team of experts, where each member brings specialized knowledge and skills to the table, working together to achieve a common goal.
