As part of the award ceremony, @aagrawalAA presented a recap of vision-and-language research over the last decade — solved problems, progress, and open-challenges for mutimodal LLMs. Solved: robustness to paraphrasing and false premises, OCR, world-knowledge based reasoning.

Simple baselines can sometimes spawn entirely new strands of research.
Huge congrats to the VQA team on winning the Everingham Prize! 🚀 10 years ago, before I started my PHD, Devi asked me to code some simple baselines for VQA. I said no the first time🤦♂️ She asked again. I said yes, worked on the method part of the paper, and accidentally spent

Haha, I don’t remember you saying no at first! 😀 I do remember thinking that there’s not many people who can get models to do what they want in a way that you can, and that’s only turned out to be more and more true over the years! No wonder I kept pestering you till you said

10 years since the VQA paper!
Speaking at the *decade mark* of this workshop is extra special to me as this ICCV also marks a decade of my career in vision-language research. I published my first vision-language paper in ICCV 2015 -- the VQA paper: https://t.co/9Y2pMkgt8c
