• Authors: Shuo Yang, Siwen Luo, Soyeon Caren Han,
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel graph-based multimodal commonsense knowledge distillation framework that constructs a unified graph over commonsense knowledge, visual objects and questions through a Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) following a teacher-student environment. This proposed framework is flexible with any type of teacher and student models without further fine-tuning, and has achieved competitive performances on the ScienceQA dataset.

• Abstract: Existing Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) and Visual Language Pretrained Models (VLPMs) have shown remarkable performances in the general Visual Question Answering (VQA). However, these models struggle with VQA questions that require external commonsense knowledge due to the challenges in generating high-quality prompts and the high computational costs of fine-tuning. In this work, we propose a novel graph-based multimodal commonsense knowledge distillation framework that constructs a unified relational graph over commonsense knowledge, visual objects and questions through a Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) following a teacher-student environment. This proposed framework is flexible with any type of teacher and student models without further fine-tuning, and has achieved competitive performances on the ScienceQA dataset.

  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.

  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.

  We propose VQA-GNN, a new VQA model that performs bidirectional fusion between unstructured and structured multimodal knowledge to obtain unified knowledge representations. Specifically, we inter-connect the scene graph and the concept graph through a super node that represents the QA context. On two challenging VQA tasks, our method outperforms strong baseline VQA methods by 3.2% on VCR and 4.6% on GQA, suggesting its strength in performing concept-level reasoning.

  The Visual Question Answering (VQA) task utilizes both visual image and language analysis to answer a textual question with respect to an image. This paper describes our recent research of AliceMind-MMU that obtains similar or even slightly better results than human beings does on VQA. This is achieved by systematically improving the VQA pipeline including: (1) pre-training with comprehensive visual and textual feature representation; (2) effective cross-modal interaction with learning to attend; and (3) A novel knowledge mining framework with specialized expert modules for the complex VQA task.

  Knowledge-based Visual Question Answering (KVQA) requires external knowledge beyond the visible content to answer questions about an image. In this paper, we depict an image by multiple knowledge graphs from the visual, semantic and factual views. We decompose the model into a series of memory-based reasoning steps, each performed by a G raph-based R ead, U pdate, and C ontrol. We achieve a new state-of-the-art performance on three popular benchmark datasets, including FVQA, Visual7W-KB and OK-VQA.

We propose a modality-aware heterogeneous graph convolutional network to capture evidence from different layers that is most relevant to the given question.
