Abstract Aiming at the ambiguous question sentence in the visual question answering task,a visual question answering method based on Yes/No feedback is proposed.The Yes/No feedback mechanism is employed to determine whether or not the answer is correct for the first time.When the feedback given by the user is no,the question is re-analyzed,new questions are generated after disambiguation and different candidate answers are generated.The answer with the highest confidence is output as the final result.The experimental results on ClEVR,CLEVR-CoGen benchmark datasets show the proposed method achieves higher accuracy than the existing methods.
