构建首个中文图文表三模态问答数据集,挑战模型跨模态推理能力。

CT2C-QA: Multimodal Question Answering over Chinese Text, Table and Chart

  • 设计多智能体系统,分工协作处理文本、表格和图表
  • 在200个真实网页来源上构建数据集,答案可能分散或不存在
  • 验证主流模型如GPT-4仍难达标,凸显任务挑战性

多模态问答(MMQA)至关重要,它通过整合文本、表格、图表等多元数据形式实现全面理解与精准回答。现有研究大多聚焦于两种模态的组合,如图像-文本、表格-文本或图表-文本问答,而对文本、表格与图表三者联合分析的研究仍属稀缺。本文提出CT²C-QA,一个开创性的中文推理型问答数据集,涵盖从200个精选网页中提取的丰富文本、表格与图表内容。该数据集模拟真实网页场景,可有效检验模型对多模态数据的分析与推理能力——问题的答案可能存在于任一模态,甚至可能根本不存在。此外,我们设计了AED(分配、专家与决策)多智能体系统,通过协同部署、信息交互与集体决策实现高效分析:分配代理负责选择并激活擅长文本、表格、图表的专家代理;决策代理基于各专家输出作出最终判断。我们对AED与多种先进MMQA模型(包括GPT-4)进行了全面对比实验,结果表明当前方法尚未达到本数据集设定的基准水平。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Multimodal Question Answering (MMQA) is crucial as it enables comprehensive understanding and accurate responses by integrating insights from diverse data representations such as tables, charts, and text. Most existing researches in MMQA only focus on two modalities such as image-text QA, table-text QA and chart-text QA, and there remains a notable scarcity in studies that investigate the joint analysis of text, tables, and charts. In this paper, we present C$\text{T}^2$C-QA, a pioneering Chinese reasoning-based QA dataset that includes an extensive collection of text, tables, and charts, meticulously compiled from 200 selectively sourced webpages. Our dataset simulates real webpages and serves as a great test for the capability of the model to analyze and reason with multimodal data, because the answer to a question could appear in various modalities, or even potentially not exist at all. Additionally, we present AED (\textbf{A}llocating, \textbf{E}xpert and \textbf{D}esicion), a multi-agent system implemented through collaborative deployment, information interaction, and collective decision-making among different agents. Specifically, the Assignment Agent is in charge of selecting and activating expert agents, including those proficient in text, tables, and charts. The Decision Agent bears the responsibility of delivering the final verdict, drawing upon the analytical insights provided by these expert agents. We execute a comprehensive analysis, comparing AED with various state-of-the-art models in MMQA, including GPT-4. The experimental outcomes demonstrate that current methodologies, including GPT-4, are yet to meet the benchmarks set by our dataset.
