Task: Question Understanding
Input (English): To investigate whether our BERT-based model can transfer knowledge beyond language, we consider image features as simple visual tokens that can be presented to the model analogously to textual token embeddings. In order to make the $o_j$ vectors (of dimension $2048+4=2052$) comparable to BERT embeddings (of dimension 768), we use a simple linear cross-modal projection layer $W$ of dimensions $2052\hspace{-1.00006pt}\times \hspace{-1.00006pt}768$. The $N$ object regions detected in an image, are thus represented as $X_{img} = (W.o_1,...,W.o_N)$. Once mapped into the BERT embedding space with $W$, the image is seen by the rest of the model as a sequence of units with no explicit indication if it is a text or an image embedding. 
 Question: How are multimodal representations combined?
Output (English): Abstractive
