| Challenge: | Existing research has not explored meme captioning's decomposition into subtasks or its connections to other CMU tasks. |
| Approach: | a new meme corpus is built upon the Facebook Hateful Memes dataset . it contains meme captions, corresponding surface messages and relevant background knowledge . |
| Outcome: | a new corpus of meme captions and surface messages unifies three major categories of CMU tasks for the first time. |

| Challenge: | Existing benchmarks for meme understanding only concern narrow aspects of meme semantics. |
| Approach: | They propose to use multiple-choice questions to evaluate meme comprehension . they use a dataset of over 9,000 multiple-question questions to assess meme comprehension. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms existing models on meme comprehension . the model makes many errors on memes where proper understanding requires going beyond sentiment . |
