- Abstract summary: We propose a novel approach, Inner Monologue Multi-Modal Optimization (IMMO), to solve complex vision language problems.
IMMO simulates inner monologue processes, a cognitive process in which an individual engages in silent verbal communication with themselves.
The results suggest IMMO can enhance reasoning and explanation abilities, contributing to the more effective fusion of vision and language models.

- Abstract: Visual language tasks require AI models to comprehend and reason with both
visual and textual content. Driven by the power of Large Language Models
(LLMs), two prominent methods have emerged: (1) the hybrid integration between
LLMs and Vision-Language Models (VLMs), where visual inputs are firstly
converted into language descriptions by VLMs, serving as inputs for LLMs to
generate final answer(s); (2) visual feature alignment in language space, where
visual inputs are encoded as embeddings and projected to LLMs' language space
via further supervised fine-tuning. The first approach provides light training
costs and interpretability but is hard to be optimized in an end-to-end
fashion. The second approach presents decent performance, but feature alignment
usually requires large amounts of training data and lacks interpretability. To
tackle this dilemma, we propose a novel approach, Inner Monologue Multi-Modal
Optimization (IMMO), to solve complex vision language problems by simulating
inner monologue processes, a cognitive process in which an individual engages
in silent verbal communication with themselves. We enable LLMs and VLMs to
interact through natural language conversation and propose to use a two-stage
training process to learn how to do the inner monologue (self-asking questions
and answering questions). IMMO is evaluated on two popular tasks and the
results suggest by emulating the cognitive phenomenon of internal dialogue, our
approach can enhance reasoning and explanation abilities, contributing to the
more effective fusion of vision and language models. More importantly, instead
of using predefined human-crafted monologues, IMMO learns this process within
the deep learning models, promising wider applicability to many different AI
problems beyond vision language tasks.

Large language models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful and general solutions to many natural language tasks.
