• Abstract summary: We propose a new Few-Shot Visual Question Generation (FS-VQG) task and provide a comprehensive benchmark to it. We evaluate various existing VQG approaches as well as popular few-shot solutions based on meta-learning and self-supervised strategies for the FS-VQG task. Several important findings emerge from our experiments, that shed light on the limits of current models in few-shot vision and language generation tasks.

• Abstract: Generating natural language questions from visual scenes, known as Visual Question Generation (VQG), has been explored in the recent past where large amounts of meticulously labeled data provide the training corpus. However, in practice, it is not uncommon to have only a few images with question annotations corresponding to a few types of answers. In this paper, we propose a new and challenging Few-Shot Visual Question Generation (FS-VQG) task and provide a comprehensive benchmark to it. Specifically, we evaluate various existing VQG approaches as well as popular few-shot solutions based on meta-learning and self-supervised strategies for the FS-VQG task. We conduct experiments on two popular existing datasets VQG and Visual7w. In addition, we have also cleaned and extended the VQG dataset for use in a few-shot scenario, with additional image-question pairs as well as additional answer categories. We call this new dataset VQG-23. Several important findings emerge from our experiments, that shed light on the limits of current models in few-shot vision and language generation tasks. We find that trivially extending existing VQG approaches with transfer learning or meta-learning may not be enough to tackle the inherent challenges in few-shot VQG. We believe that this work will contribute to accelerating the progress in few-shot learning research.

  Visual question answering (VQA) is the task of answering questions about an image. Answering the question requires commonsense knowledge, world knowledge, and reasoning about ideas and concepts not present in the image. We propose a framework that uses language guidance (LG) in the form of rationales, image captions, scene graphs, etc to answer questions more accurately.

  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.

  Current methods of Visual Question Answering perform well on the answers with an amount of training data but have limited accuracy on the novel ones with few examples. We propose to extract the attributes from the answers with enough data, which are later composed to constrain the learning of the few-shot ones. Experimental results on the VQA v2.0 validation dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed attribute network.

  We revisit grid features for visual question answering (VQA) and find they can work surprisingly well. We verify that this observation holds true across different VQA models and generalizes well to other tasks like image captioning. We learn VQA models end-to-end, from pixels directly to answers, and show that strong performance is achievable without using any region annotations in pre-training.
