| Challenge: | Large vision and language models have demonstrated remarkable performance in visual question answering tasks. |
| Approach: | They introduce a framework to optimize L-VLMs by leveraging unlabeled images . they conduct extensive experiments on four diverse VQA benchmarks . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework improves L-VLMs on four visual question answering benchmarks. |

| Challenge: | Existing approaches to retrieve relevant images for natural language searches are limited by visual recognition and lack of commonsense reasoning. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that leverages visual content and natural language queries to enable commonsense reasoning and factual reasoning in the image search. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework enables commonsense and factual reasoning in image search on a COFAR dataset. |
