PAT: Parallel Attention Transformer for Visual Question Answering in Vietnamese

원문 초록

We present in this paper a novel scheme for multimodal learning named the Parallel Attention mechanism. In addition, to take into account the advantages of grammar and context in Vietnamese, we propose the Hierarchical Linguistic Features Extractor instead of using an LSTM network to extract linguistic features. Based on these two novel modules, we introduce the Parallel Attention Transformer (PAT), achieving the best accuracy compared to all baselines on the benchmark ViVQA dataset and other SOTA methods including SAAA and MCAN.
