What does "VISTA" mean?
Table of Contents
VISTA is a new method that helps computers find information from different types of data, like text and images. While many systems focus only on text, VISTA allows for better handling of both words and pictures.
Key Features
Flexible Design: VISTA has a structure that combines a strong text understanding tool with abilities to understand images. This makes it easier for the system to work with both types of data.
Quality Data Creation: VISTA uses special techniques to create high-quality combinations of images and text. This helps train the system better.
Smart Training Process: The training involves two steps. First, it aligns the image understanding with the text tool using a lot of data with weak labels. After that, it improves how the system represents both images and text using the created data.
Results
In tests, VISTA performed well in different tasks that involve both text and images. It showed its ability to work without needing prior specific examples and also when guided with examples.
