Deep network models are often purely inductive during both training and inference on unseen data. When these models are used for prediction, but they may fail to capture important semantic information and implicit dependencies within datasets. Recent advancements have shown that combining multiple modalities in large-scale vision and language settings can improve understanding and generalization performance. However, as the model size increases, fine-tuning and deployment become computationally expensive, even for a small number of downstream tasks. Moreover, it is still unclear how domain or prior modal knowledge can be specified in a backpropagation friendly manner, especially in large-scale and noisy settings.

Often, deep network models are purely inductive during training and while performing inference on unseen data. Thus, when such models are used for predictions, it is well known that they often fail to capture the semantic information and implicit dependencies that exist among objects (or concepts) on a population level. Moreover, it is still unclear how domain or prior modal knowledge can be specified in a backpropagation friendly manner, especially in large-scale and noisy settings. In this work, we propose an end-to-end vision and language model incorporating explicit knowledge graphs. We also introduce an interactive out-of-distribution (OOD) layer using implicit network operator. The layer is used to filter noise that is brought by external knowledge base. In practice, we apply our model on several vision and language downstream tasks including visual question answering, visual reasoning, and image-text retrieval on different datasets. Our experiments show that it is possible to design models that perform similarly to state-of-art results but with significantly fewer samples and training time.
