KM-BART: Knowledge Enhanced Multimodal BART for Visual Commonsense Generation
share
We present Knowledge Enhanced Multimodal BART (KM-BART), which is a Transformer-based sequence-to-sequence model capable of reasoning about commonsense knowledge from multimodal inputs of images and texts. We extend the popular BART architecture to a multi-modal model. We design a new pretraining task to improve the model performance on Visual Commonsense Generation task. Our pretraining task improves the Visual Commonsense Generation performance by leveraging knowledge from a large language model pretrained on an external knowledge graph. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to propose a dedicated task for improving model performance on Visual Commonsense Generation. Experimental results show that by pretraining, our model reaches state-of-the-art performance on the Visual Commonsense Generation task.
