Towards Multi-Modal Text-Image Retrieval to improve Human Reading (2021.naacl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | In primary school, children's books, as well as in modern language learning apps, multi-modal learning strategies like illustrations of terms and phrases are used to support reading comprehension. |
| Approach: | They propose to use multi-modal transformers to train multi-dimensional models on text-image retrieval to support a user's reading comprehension of arbitrary text. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model performs poorly because of the short and relatively simple textual data that the current models are trained with. |
