• Abstract: The ideal form of Visual Question Answering requires understanding, grounding and reasoning in the joint space of vision and language and serves as a proxy for the AI task of scene understanding. However, most existing VQA benchmarks are limited to just picking the answer from a pre-defined set of options and lack attention to text. We present a new challenge with a dataset that contains 23,781 questions based on 10124 image-text pairs. Specifically, the task requires the model to align multimedia representations of the same entity to implement multi-hop reasoning between image and text and finally use natural language to answer the question. The aim of this challenge is to develop and benchmark models that are capable of multimedia entity alignment, multi-step reasoning and open-ended answer generation.

Our findings call for a backbone modelling approach that can be built on to advance text generation from images and text beyond image captioning.

  We present a new QA evaluation benchmark with 1,384 questions over news articles that require cross-media grounding of objects in images onto text. Specifically, the task involves multi-hop questions that require reasoning over image-caption pairs to identify the grounded visual object being referred to and then predicting a span from the news body text to answer the question. We introduce a novel multimedia data augmentation framework, based on cross-media knowledge extraction and synthetic question-answer generation, to automatically augment data that can provide weak supervision for this task.
