VQA-GEN: A Visual Question Answering Benchmark for Domain Generalization
Visual question answering (VQA) models are designed to demonstrate visual-textual reasoning capabilities. However, their real-world applicability is hindered by a lack of comprehensive benchmark datasets. Existing domain generalization datasets for VQA exhibit a unilateral focus on textual shifts while VQA being a multi-modal task contains shifts across both visual and textual domains. We propose VQA-GEN, the first ever multi-modal benchmark dataset for distribution shift generated through a shift induced pipeline. Experiments demonstrate VQA-GEN dataset exposes the vulnerability of existing methods to joint multi-modal distribution shifts. validating that comprehensive multi-modal shifts are critical for robust VQA generalization. Models trained on VQA-GEN exhibit improved cross-domain and in-domain performance, confirming the value of VQA-GEN. Further, we analyze the importance of each shift technique of our pipeline contributing to the generalization of the model.
