• Abstract summary: We study the Knowledge-Based visual question-answering problem, for which given a question, the models need to ground it into the visual modality to find the answer. Our study shows that replacing a complex question with several simpler questions helps to extract more relevant information from the image.

• Abstract: We study the Knowledge-Based visual question-answering problem, for which given a question, the models need to ground it into the visual modality to find the answer. Although many recent works use question-dependent captioners to verbalize the given image and use Large Language Models to solve the VQA problem, the research results show they are not reasonably performing for multi-hop questions. Our study shows that replacing a complex question with several simpler questions helps to extract more relevant information from the image and provide a stronger comprehension of it. Moreover, we analyze the decomposed questions to find out the modality of the information that is required to answer them and use a captioner for the visual questions and LLMs as a general knowledge source for the non-visual KB-based questions. Our results demonstrate the positive impact of using simple questions before retrieving visual or non-visual information. We have provided results and analysis on three well-known VQA datasets including OKVQA, A-OKVQA, and KRVQA, and achieved up to 2% improvement in accuracy.

  Knowledge-Based Visual Question Answering (KBVQA) advances this concept by adding external knowledge along with images to respond to questions. Our main contribution involves enhancing questions by incorporating relevant external knowledge extracted from knowledge graphs, using a dynamic triple extraction method. Our model, enriched with knowledge, demonstrates an average improvement of 4.75% in Exact Match Score over the state-of-the-art on three different KBVQA datasets.

  We use Passage Retrieval (DPR) to retrieve related knowledge to help the model answer questions. DPR conduct retrieving in natural language space, which may not ensure comprehensive acquisition of image information. We propose a novel framework that leverages the visual-language model to select the key knowledge retrieved by DPR and answer questions.

  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.

  The purpose of Knowledge-Based Visual Question Answering (KB-VQA) is to provide a correct answer to the question with the aid of external knowledge bases. We propose a new retriever-ranker paradigm of KB-VQA, Graph pATH rankER (GATHER for brevity) Specifically, it contains graph constructing, pruning, and path-level ranking, which not only retrieves accurate answers but also provides inference paths that explain the reasoning process.
