In addition, we build a goal-oriented visual dialogue task called CLEVR Ask. It synthesizes complex scenes that require the Questioner to generate descriptive questions. ...
In particular, goal-oriented visual dialogue, where the aim of the agent is to seek information by asking questions during a turn-taking dialogue, has been gaining scholarly attention recently. ...
For example, in simple scenes, where each object has different attributes and thus is easy to distinguish, the Questioner only needs to ask category-based questions such as "Is it a car?". ...
