Task: Question Generation
Input (English): We have shown that transformer-based encoders together with GRU models provide the best performance for question representation. Notably, we demonstrated that using pre-trained text representations provide consistent performance improvements across several hyper-parameter configurations. We have also shown that using an object detector fine-tuned with external data provides large improvements in accuracy. Moreover, we have shown that attention mechanisms are paramount for learning top performing networks, once they allow producing question-aware image representations that are capable of encoding spatial relations. It became clear that Top-Down is the preferred attention method, given its results with ReLU activation.
Output (English): What components are identified as core components for training VQA models?
