针对视频问答中问题类型不均导致模型学习不足的问题,提出新架构提升性能。

QTG-VQA: Question-Type-Guided Architectural for VideoQA Systems

  • 按问题类型设计注意力机制,动态调整模型关注重点。
  • 引入掩码帧建模,增强对时间依赖关系的捕捉能力。
  • 针对不同类型问题设计评估指标,更精准衡量模型表现。

在视频问答(VideoQA)领域,问题类型的影响虽至关重要,但尚未得到充分研究。问题类型的丰富性直接决定了模型需学习的概念范围,进而影响其学习上限。本文探讨不同问题类型对VQA系统性能的影响,揭示了因问题类型分布不均导致的学习不足与模型退化问题。尤其注意到各类问题对时序信息的依赖程度差异显著,而时序信息表征恰是视频问答区别于图像问答的核心挑战。为此,我们提出QTG-VQA,一种融合问题类型引导注意力与自适应学习机制的新架构。针对时序类问题,设计掩码帧建模技术,以强化时序建模能力,促进模型理解更复杂的视觉-语言关系与时间依赖。此外,提出一种面向问题类型的新型评估指标。实验结果验证了该方法的有效性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In the domain of video question answering (VideoQA), the impact of question types on VQA systems, despite its critical importance, has been relatively under-explored to date. However, the richness of question types directly determines the range of concepts a model needs to learn, thereby affecting the upper limit of its learning capability. This paper focuses on exploring the significance of different question types for VQA systems and their impact on performance, revealing a series of issues such as insufficient learning and model degradation due to uneven distribution of question types. Particularly, considering the significant variation in dependency on temporal information across different question types, and given that the representation of such information coincidentally represents a principal challenge and difficulty for VideoQA as opposed to ImageQA. To address these challenges, we propose QTG-VQA, a novel architecture that incorporates question-type-guided attention and adaptive learning mechanism. Specifically, as to temporal-type questions, we design Masking Frame Modeling technique to enhance temporal modeling, aimed at encouraging the model to grasp richer visual-language relationships and manage more intricate temporal dependencies. Furthermore, a novel evaluation metric tailored to question types is introduced. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of our approach.
