    Abstract:

    Visual-language pre-training (VLP) aims to obtain a powerful multimodal representation by learning on a large-scale image-text multimodal dataset. Multimodal feature fusion and alignment is a key challenge in multimodal model training. In most of the existing visual-language pre-training models, for the multimodal feature fusion and alignment problem, the main approach is that the extracted visual features and text features are directly input into the Transformer model. Since the attention mechanism in the Transformer calculates the similarity between pairs, it is difficult to achieve the alignment among multiple entities. Considering that the hyperedges of hypergraph neural networks possess the characteristics of connecting multiple entities and encoding high-order entity correlations, thus enabling the establishment of relationships among multiple entities. In this study, a visual-language multimodal model pre-training method based on multi-entity alignment of hypergraph neural networks is proposed. In this method, the hypergraph neural network learning module is introduced into the Transformer multi-modal fusion encoder to learn the alignment relationship of multi-modal entities, thereby enhancing the entity alignment ability of the multi-modal fusion encoder in the pre-training model. The proposed visual-language pre-training model is pre-trained on the large-scale image-text datasets and fine-tuned on multiple visual-language downstream tasks such as visual question answering, image-text retrieval, visual grounding, and natural language visual reasoning. The experimental results indicate that compared with the baseline method, the proposed method has performance improvements in multiple downstream tasks, among which the accuracy is improved by 1.8% on the NLVR2 task.
