However, since training a recognition model with every\nobject class in the world is unfeasible, a way of getting information on\nunknown objects (i.e., objects whose class has not been learned) is necessary.\nA way for an image recognition system to learn new classes could be asking a\nhuman about objects that are unknown. In this paper, we propose a method for\ngenerating questions about unknown objects in an image, as means to get\ninformation about classes that have not been learned. Our method consists of a\nmodule for proposing objects, a module for identifying unknown objects, and a\nmodule for generating questions about unknown objects. The experimental results\nvia human evaluation show that our method can successfully get information\nabout unknown objects in an image dataset. Our code and dataset are available\nat https://github.com/mil-tokyo/vqg-unknown.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1808.01821v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.01821v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"visual-question-generation-for-class","repo_url":"https://github.com/mil-tokyo/vqg-unknown","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"question-generation","task_name":"Question Generation"},{"task_slug":"question-generation","task_name":"Question-Generation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1808.01821","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
