LoRA: A Logical Reasoning Augmented Dataset for Visual Question Answering

Neural Information Processing Systems 

The capacity to reason logically is a hallmark of human cognition. Humans excel at integrating multimodal information for locigal reasoning, as exemplified by the Visual Question Answering (VQA) task, which is a challenging multimodal task. VQA tasks and large vision-and-language models aim to tackle reasoning problems, but the accuracy, consistency and fabrication of the generated answers is hard to evaluate in the absence of a VQA dataset that can offer formal, comprehensive and systematic complex logical reasoning questions. To address this gap, we present LoRA, a novel Logical Reasoning Augmented VQA dataset that requires formal and complex description logic reasoning based on a food-and-kitchen knowledge base. Our main objective in creating LoRA is to enhance the complex and formal logical reasoning capabilities of VQA models, which are not adequately measured by existing VQA datasets.
