Tell-and-Answer: Towards Explainable Visual Question Answering using Attributes and Captions (D18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to visual question answering represent images using pre-trained CNNs . but they rarely provide any insight, apart from the answer, into the VQA process . |
| Approach: | They propose to break up the end-to-end VQA into two steps: explaining and reasoning . they first extract attributes and generate descriptions as explanations for an image . a reasoning module utilizes these explanations in place of the image to infer an answer . |
| Outcome: | The proposed system achieves comparable performance with baselines, but with added benefits of explanability and the ability to improve with higher quality explanations. |
