Challenge: Language Models (LLMs) have gained increasing prominence in artificial intelligence, especially Large Language Model (LLm) due to the well-recognized reporting bias, the recording of commonsense information is significantly less than its existence in reality.
Approach: They propose a Multi-mOdal REtrieval framework to leverage both text and images to enhance commonsense ability of language models.
Outcome: The proposed framework can leverage both text and images to enhance commonsense ability of language models.
