“Deep Set Prediction Networks”, Yan Zhang, Jonathon Hare, Adam Prügel-Bennett2019-06-15 (; backlinks; similar)⁠:

Current approaches for predicting sets from feature vectors ignore the unordered nature of sets and suffer from discontinuity issues as a result.

We propose a general model for predicting sets that properly respects the structure of sets and avoids this problem. With a single feature vector as input, we show that our model is able to auto-encode point sets, predict the set of bounding boxes of objects in an image, and predict the set of attributes of these objects.
