MoEMoE: Question Guided Dense and Scalable Sparse Mixture-of-Expert for Multi-source Multi-modal Answering
- 用问题引导注意力,精准定位多源信息中的关键部分。
- 扩展为稀疏专家混合架构,支持上千种问题类型。
- 在三个数据集上表现优异,尤其适合复杂多源场景。
问答(QA)与视觉问答(VQA)是语言与视觉领域的经典任务。当问题涉及多个异构模态的信息源时,答案可能存在于一个或多个源中,虽信息更丰富但处理难度高。本文提出一种新型问题-答案生成(QAG)框架,适用于多源多模态环境。针对答案可能来自任意或全部源的挑战,设计了问题引导的注意力机制,学习跨源注意力并解码以生成鲁棒、无偏的答案。通过显式对齐问题与各信息源,增强对相关部分的识别能力。为应对多样化问题带来的可扩展性挑战,将模型扩展为稀疏专家混合(sparse-MoE)架构,实现对数千种问题类型的高效处理。在T5与Flan-T5基础上,于三个数据集上进行实验,结果验证了模型有效性,并通过消融实验进一步支持其设计合理性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Question Answering (QA) and Visual Question Answering (VQA) are well-studied problems in the language and vision domain. One challenging scenario involves multiple sources of information, each of a different modality, where the answer to the question may exist in one or more sources. This scenario contains richer information but is highly complex to handle. In this work, we formulate a novel question-answer generation (QAG) framework in an environment containing multi-source, multimodal information. The answer may belong to any or all sources; therefore, selecting the most prominent answer source or an optimal combination of all sources for a given question is challenging. To address this issue, we propose a question-guided attention mechanism that learns attention across multiple sources and decodes this information for robust and unbiased answer generation. To learn attention within each source, we introduce an explicit alignment between questions and various information sources, which facilitates identifying the most pertinent parts of the source information relative to the question. Scalability in handling diverse questions poses a challenge. We address this by extending our model to a sparse mixture-of-experts (sparse-MoE) framework, enabling it to handle thousands of question types. Experiments on T5 and Flan-T5 using three datasets demonstrate the model's efficacy, supported by ablation studies.
