• Abstract: Visual question answering (VQA) has recently been introduced to remote sensing to make information extraction from overhead imagery more accessible to everyone. VQA considers a question (in natural language, therefore easy to formulate) about an image and aims at providing an answer through a model based on computer vision and natural language processing methods. As such, a VQA model needs to jointly consider visual and textual features, which is frequently done through a fusion step. In this work, we study three different fusion methodologies in the context of VQA for remote sensing and analyse the gains in accuracy with respect to the model complexity. Our findings indicate that more complex fusion mechanisms yield an improved performance, yet that seeking a trade-of between model complexity and performance is worthwhile in practice.

  Video-language understanding presents unique challenges due to the inclusion of highly complex semantic details. We propose a novel framework called RTQ, which addresses these challenges simultaneously. Our model demonstrates outstanding performance even in the absence of video-language pre-training.

  Document Visual Question Answering (VQA) aims to understand visually-rich documents to answer questions in natural language. We introduce a new Document VQA dataset, named TAT-DQA, which consists of 3,067 document pages and 16,558 question-answer pairs. We develop a novel model named MHST that takes into account the information in multi-modalities, including text, layout and visual image, to intelligently address different types of questions.

  Visual question answering (VQA) for remote sensing scene has great potential in intelligent human-computer interaction system. No object annotations are available in RSVQA datasets, which makes it difficult for models to exploit informative region representation. There are questions with clearly different difficulty levels for each image in the RSVQA task. A multi-level visual feature learning method is proposed to jointly extract language-guided holistic and regional image features.

  The Visual Question Answering (VQA) task utilizes both visual image and language analysis to answer a textual question with respect to an image. This paper describes our recent research of AliceMind-MMU that obtains similar or even slightly better results than human beings does on VQA. This is achieved by systematically improving the VQA pipeline including: (1) pre-training with comprehensive visual and textual feature representation; (2) effective cross-modal interaction with learning to attend; and (3) A novel knowledge mining framework with specialized expert modules for the complex VQA task.
