Is it possible to develop an AI Pathologist to pass the board-certified examination of the American Board of Pathology (ABP)? To build such a system, three challenges need to be addressed. First, we need to create a visual question answering (VQA) dataset where the AI agent is presented with a pathology image together with a question and is asked to give the correct answer. Due to privacy concerns, pathology images are usually not publicly available. Besides, only well-trained pathologists can understand pathology images, but they barely have time to help create datasets for AI research. The second challenge is: since it is difficult to hire highly experienced pathologists to create pathology visual questions and answers, the resulting pathology VQA dataset may contain errors. Training pathology VQA models using these noisy or even erroneous data will lead to problematic models that cannot generalize well on unseen images. The third challenge is: the medical concepts and knowledge covered in pathology question-answer (QA) pairs are very diverse while the number of QA pairs available for modeling training is limited. How to learn effective representations of diverse medical concepts based on limited data is technically demanding. In this paper, we aim to address these three challenges. To our best knowledge, our work represents the first one addressing the pathology VQA problem. To deal with the issue that a publicly available pathology VQA dataset is lacking, we create PathVQA dataset. To address the second challenge, we propose a learning-by-ignoring approach. To address the third challenge, we propose to use cross-modal self-supervised learning. We perform experiments on our created PathVQA dataset and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed learning-by-ignoring method and cross-modal self-supervised learning methods.

Performance on the most commonly used Visual Question Answering dataset (VQA v2) is starting to approach human accuracy. However, in interacting with state-of-the-art VQA models, it is clear that the problem is far from being solved. In order to stre ss test VQA models, we benchmark them against human-adversarial examples. Human subjects interact with a state-of-the-art VQA model, and for each image in the dataset, attempt to find a question where the models predicted answer is incorrect. We find that a wide range of state-of-the-art models perform poorly when evaluated on these examples. We conduct an extensive analysis of the collected adversarial examples and provide guidance on future research directions. We hope that this Adversarial VQA (AdVQA) benchmark can help drive progress in the field and advance the state of the art.
We describe a very simple bag-of-words baseline for visual question answering. This baseline concatenates the word features from the question and CNN features from the image to predict the answer. When evaluated on the challenging VQA dataset [2], it shows comparable performance to many recent approaches using recurrent neural networks. To explore the strength and weakness of the trained model, we also provide an interactive web demo and open-source code. .

This paper studies the task of Visual Question Answering (VQA), which is topical in Multimedia community recently. Particularly, we explore two critical research problems existed in VQA: (1) efficiently fusing the visual and textual modalities; (2) e nabling the visual reasoning ability of VQA models in answering complex questions. To address these challenging problems, a novel Question Guided Modular Routing Networks (QGMRN) has been proposed in this paper. Particularly, The QGMRN is composed of visual, textual and routing network. The visual and textual network serve as the backbones for the generic feature extractors of visual and textual modalities. QGMRN can fuse the visual and textual modalities at multiple semantic levels. Typically, the visual reasoning is facilitated by the routing network in a discrete and stochastic way by using Gumbel-Softmax trick for module selection. When the input reaches a certain modular layer, routing network newly proposed in this paper, dynamically selects a portion of modules from that layer to process the input depending on the question features generated by the textual network. It can also learn to reason by routing between the generic modules without additional supervision information or expert knowledge. Benefiting from the dynamic routing mechanism, QGMRN can outperform the previous classical VQA methods by a large margin and achieve the competitive results against the state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, attention mechanism is integrated into our QGMRN model and thus can further boost the model performance. Empirically, extensive experiments on the CLEVR and CLEVR-Humans datasets validate the effectiveness of our proposed model, and the state-of-the-art performance has been achieved.
Deep neural networks have been playing an essential role in the task of Visual Question Answering (VQA). Until recently, their accuracy has been the main focus of research. Now there is a trend toward assessing the robustness of these models against adversarial attacks by evaluating the accuracy of these models under increasing levels of noisiness in the inputs of VQA models. In VQA, the attack can target the image and/or the proposed query question, dubbed main question, and yet there is a lack of proper analysis of this aspect of VQA. In this work, we propose a new method that uses semantically related questions, dubbed basic questions, acting as noise to evaluate the robustness of VQA models. We hypothesize that as the similarity of a basic question to the main question decreases, the level of noise increases. To generate a reasonable noise level for a given main question, we rank a pool of basic questions based on their similarity with this main question. We cast this ranking problem as a LASSO optimization problem. We also propose a novel robustness measure Rscore and two large-scale basic question datasets in order to standardize robustness analysis of VQA models. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed evaluation method is able to effectively analyze the robustness of VQA models. To foster the VQA research, we will publish our proposed datasets.
We propose a novel video understanding task by fusing knowledge-based and video question answering. First, we introduce KnowIT VQA, a video dataset with 24,282 human-generated question-answer pairs about a popular sitcom. The dataset combines visual, textual and temporal coherence reasoning together with knowledge-based questions, which need of the experience obtained from the viewing of the series to be answered. Second, we propose a video understanding model by combining the visual and textual video content with specific knowledge about the show. Our main findings are: (i) the incorporation of knowledge produces outstanding improvements for VQA in video, and (ii) the performance on KnowIT VQA still lags well behind human accuracy, indicating its usefulness for studying current video modelling limitations.
