BRIDGETOWER: A Novel Transformer-based Vision-Language VL Model that Takes Full Advantage of the Features of Different Layers in Pre-Trained Uni-Modal Encoders

Vision-and-Language Representation Learning Vision-and-language (VL) representation learning combines visual and textual information to improve machine learning models' performance in tasks like image captioning, visual question answering (VQA), and image-text retrieval. Challenges in VL Representation Learning Aligning and merging visual and textual information is a key challenge in VL representation learning. Traditional methods often handle visual and textual data separately before combining them, leading to incomplete interactions and subpar performance. Introducing BRIDGETOWER BRIDGETOWER is a transformer-based model created to enhance cross-modal alignment and fusion. It uses multiple bridge layers to connect uni-modal encoders with the cross-modal encoder, enabling effective alignment and fusion of visual and textual representations. Performance of BRIDGETOWER BRIDGETOWER has shown outstanding performance across various vision-language tasks, surpassing previous state-of-the-art models in tasks such as image retrieval and visual question answering. It achieves top-notch performance with minimal additional computational cost, demonstrating its potential for advancing the field.
