• Abstract: Visual dialog is a vision-language task where an agent needs to answer a series of questions grounded in an image based on the understanding of the dialog history and the image. The occurrences of coreference relations in the dialog makes it a more challenging task than visual question-answering. Most previous works have focused on learning better multi-modal representations or on exploring different ways of fusing visual and language features, while the coreferences in the dialog are mainly ignored. In this paper, based on linguistic knowledge and discourse features of human dialog we propose two soft constraints that can improve the model's ability of resolving coreferences in dialog in an unsupervised way. Experimental results on the VisDial v1.0 dataset shows that our model, which integrates two novel and linguistically inspired soft constraints in a deep transformer neural architecture, obtains new state-of-the-art performance in terms of recall at 1 and other evaluation metrics compared to current existing models and this without pretraining on other vision-language datasets. Our qualitative results also demonstrate the effectiveness of the method that we propose.

  This paper presents a novel perspective on multi-modal dialogue systems, which interprets the image in the context of the dialogue. We propose a two-stage approach to automatically construct a multi-modal dialogue dataset. In the first stage, we utilize text-to-image similarity and sentence similarity to identify which utterances could be replaced with an image. In the second stage, we replace those utterances by selecting a subset of relevant images and filtering them with a visual question answering model.

  The Visual Dialog task requires a model to exploit both image and conversational context information to generate the next response to the dialogue. We show that previous joint-modality (history and image) models over-rely on and are more prone to memorizing the dialogue history. We present methods for this integration of the two models, via ensemble and consensus dropout fusion with shared parameters.
