Abstract

A VQA system takes a picture and an open-ended query in natural language related to the image as inputs and outputs a response in natural language. In this paper, we aim to comprehend numerous methods devised by researchers and compare their performance on various datasets. This includes several methods including Bilinear models, Attention and Non-Attention models, Multimodal approach, etc. Additionally, we have proposed a Hybrid Co-Attention model that addresses visual and linguistic features simultaneously over different levels to find semantic overlaps between them. We were able to get an accuracy that is similar to state-of-the-art models by altering only the text-level features, i.e., training accuracy of 57.02% and validation accuracy of 42.78%. We also got top 5 accuracy of 93.47% on the training set and 77.67% on the validation dataset.
