• Title: Video Question Answering with Phrases via Semantic Roles
• Authors: Arka Sadhu, Kan Chen, Ram Nevatia
• Abstract summary: Video Question Answering (VidQA) evaluation metrics have been limited to a single-word answer or selecting a phrase from a fixed set of phrases. We leverage semantic roles derived from video descriptions to mask out certain phrases, to introduce VidQAP which poses VidQA as a fill-in-the-phrase task.

• Abstract: Video Question Answering (VidQA) evaluation metrics have been limited to a single-word answer or selecting a phrase from a fixed set of phrases. These metrics limit the VidQA models' application scenario. In this work, we leverage semantic roles derived from video descriptions to mask out certain phrases, to introduce VidQAP which poses VidQA as a fill-in-the-phrase task. To enable evaluation of answer phrases, we compute the relative improvement of the predicted answer compared to an empty string. To reduce the influence of language bias in VidQA datasets, we retrieve a video having a different answer for the same question. To facilitate research, we construct ActivityNet-SRL-QA and Charades-SRL-QA and benchmark them by extending three vision-language models. We further perform extensive analysis and ablative studies to guide future work.

  We present Reasoning Question Prompts for VQA tasks, which can further activate the potential of Large Language Models. We generate self-contained questions as reasoning question prompts via an unsupervised question edition module. Each reasoning question prompt clearly indicates the intent of the original question. Then, the candidate answers associated with their confidence scores acting as answer integritys are fed into LLMs.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown remarkable performances on a wide range of natural language understanding and generation tasks. We propose a novel framework, Flipped-VQA, encouraging the model to predict all the combinations of $langle$V, Q, A$rangle$ triplet. Flipped-VQA not only enhances the exploitation of linguistic shortcuts but also mitigates the linguistic bias, which causes incorrect answers over-relying on the question.

  Rephrase, Augment and Reason (RepARe) is a gradient-free framework that extracts salient details about the image using the underlying vision-language model. We show that RepARe can result in a 3.85% (absolute) increase in zero-shot accuracy on VQAv2, 6.41%, and 7.94% points increase on A-OKVQA, and VizWiz respectively.

  We introduce a new benchmark, Open-vocabulary Video Question Answering (OVQA), to measure the generalizability of VideoQA models. In addition, we introduce a novel GNN-based soft verbalizer that enhances the prediction on rare and unseen answers. Our ablation studies and qualitative analyses demonstrate that our GNN-based soft verbalizer further improves the model performance.

  We propose to avoid manual annotation and generate a large-scale training dataset for video question answering. We leverage a question generation transformer trained on text data and use it to generate question-answer pairs from transcribed video narrations. For a detailed evaluation we introduce iVQA, a new VideoQA dataset with reduced language bias and high-quality manual annotations.

  We introduce NExT-QA, a rigorously designed video question answering (VideoQA) benchmark. We set up multi-choice and open-ended QA tasks targeting causal action reasoning, temporal action reasoning, and common scene comprehension. We find that top-performing methods excel at shallow scene descriptions but are weak in causal and temporal action reasoning.
