• Abstract: In multimodal assistant, where vision is also one of the input modalities, the identification of user intent becomes a challenging task as visual input can influence the outcome. Current digital assistants take spoken input and try to determine the user intent from conversational or device context. So, a dataset, which includes visual input (i.e. images or videos for the corresponding questions targeted for multimodal assistant use cases, is not readily available. The research in visual question answering (VQA) and visual question generation (VQG) is a great step forward. However, they do not capture questions that a visually-abled person would ask multimodal assistants. Moreover, many times questions do not seek information from external knowledge. In this paper, we provide a new dataset, MMIU (MultiModal Intent Understanding), that contains questions and corresponding intents provided by human annotators while looking at images. We, then, use this dataset for intent classification task in multimodal digital assistant. We also experiment with various approaches for combining vision and language features including the use of multimodal transformer for classification of image-question pairs into 14 intents. We provide the benchmark results and discuss the role of visual and text features for the intent classification task on our dataset.

  In mixed-initiative conversational search systems, clarifying questions are used to help users who struggle to express their intentions in a single query. We hypothesize that in scenarios where multimodal information is pertinent, the clarification process can be improved by using non-textual information. We collect a dataset named Melon that contains over 4k multimodal clarifying questions, enriched with over 14k images. Several analyses are conducted to understand the importance of multimodal contents during the query clarification phase.

  In this paper, we present IMProv, a generative model that is able to in-context learn visual tasks from multimodal prompts. We train a masked generative transformer on a new dataset of figures from computer vision papers and their associated captions. During inference time, we prompt the model with text and/or image task example(s) and have the model inpaint the corresponding output.

  It is necessary for an agent to 1) determine the semantic intent of question and 2) align question-relevant textual and visual contents. We propose Multi-View Attention Network (MVAN), which leverages multiple views about heterogeneous inputs. MVAN effectively captures the question-relevant information from the dialog history with two complementary modules.
