GQA-Sub Dataset

We build a GQA-Sub dataset to enable the quantitative evaluation of reasoning consistency in compositional VQA. The GQA-Sub dataset is constructed based on the GQA dataset, a large-scale dataset for real-world visual reasoning and compositional question answering. We only generate sub-questions for questions of the train split and the validation split of GQA because the ground-truth scene graphs of the two splits are available. Thus our GQA-Sub dataset contains a train-sub split and a validation-sub split. The two splits can be found in the folder "questions".

Dialog-like Reasoning Method

We propose a dialog-like reasoning method that integrates the reasoning processes for sub-questions into the reasoning process for a compositional question to maintain the reasoning consistency in compositional VQA. The folder "DLR" contains the source code of the proposed method.
