ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DEVICE FOR A NEURAL MODULE NETWORK AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

A method for controlling an artificial intelligence (AI) device can include obtaining, via a processor in the AI device, a plurality of universal modules, receiving, via the processor in the AI device, an input image and a query related to the input image, and selecting, via the processor, a group of universal modules from among the plurality of universal modules. Also, the method can further include determining, via the processor, a layout arrangement for the group of universal modules and connecting the group of universal modules together according to the layout arrangement to form a neural module network (NMN), and outputting, via the processor, an answer based on the NMN, the query and the input image.
