A framework is presented that employs video-grounded entailment tree reasoning for commonsense video question answering. It enhances existing visual-language models by providing explicit, verifiable reasoning steps directly tied to video evidence, and includes a method to de-bias VQA benchmarks.
Key insights
- Explicitly grounding VQA reasoning in specific video fragments, rather than relying on generalized knowledge or textual cues, substantially improves model robustness and interpretability.
- The majority of current visual-language models leverage textual biases and shortcut associations within VQA datasets, leading to inflated performance metrics.
- A neuro-symbolic approach combining VLM perception with symbolic entailment trees offers a parameter-efficient and effective pathway for verifiable, step-by-step reasoning in multimodal tasks.
