LLM knowledge integration depth impacts VQA performance

Researchers explored how to best integrate knowledge from Large Language Models (LLMs) into Visual Question Answering (VQA) systems. They found that a shallower integration, specifically late fusion, performed better than deeper methods like attention matrix injection on the OK-VQA benchmark. The shallow approach achieved a 39.4% exact match score, significantly outperforming the unguided baseline and the deeper integration method, which scored 31.8%. This suggests that the optimal depth of LLM knowledge integration depends on the available data. AI

IMPACT Findings suggest that shallower LLM integration may be more effective for VQA systems, potentially optimizing resource use and performance in data-scarce scenarios.

    Rethinking LLM-Guided Visual Question Answering: Does Deeper Knowledge Integration Really Help?

    arXiv:2610.17079v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Some questions about an image need commonsense or factual knowledge that its pixels do not contain. Large Language Models (LLMs) can supply this knowledge to Visual Question Answering (VQA) systems, but the depth at which their …
