Seminar "Neuro-Symbolic approaches in Visual Question Answering problems"

The next workshop of the laboratory took place.

Online seminars on the topic "Neuro-Symbolic approaches in Visual Question Answering problems" were held on December 17 and 24, 2021.

Speaker: Latypov Insan-Aleksandr (Research-assistant at AIC Lab for Computational Biology).

Abstract: In this presentation we demonstrate possible solutions in solving Visual Question Answering tasks using Neuro-Symbolic approaches. This paradigm aims to bridge the gap between symbolic and connectionist models. Visual Question Answering implies answering the questions based on the given picture and requires reasoning over the extracted information. Models, that we review during this talk, solve the problem of reasoning in different ways. Some of them are based on traversing the knowledge graphs, while others translate the concepts to executable, symbolic programs.
