Visual grounding can enhance word learning efficiency in neural language models, especially in low-data regimes.
초록
The content discusses the impact of visual grounding on word learning efficiency in neural language models. It explores the effectiveness of different model architectures, such as CLIP, GIT, and Flamingo, in learning word meanings. The study evaluates various benchmarks, including word similarity, lexical relation prediction, semantic feature prediction, and alignment with human neural representations. Results indicate that visual supervision can improve word learning efficiency, particularly in low-data scenarios. However, the integration of visual and distributional information remains a challenge for current models.

Introduction
- Neural language models have shown success in various language processing tasks.
- Current models require significantly more training data than human language learners receive.
- Multi-modal training is proposed as a way to achieve more human-like language learning efficiency.
-
Methods
- Evaluation benchmarks for word learning include word similarity and lexical relation prediction.
- Models are trained with and without visual supervision on datasets of varying scales.
- Additional benchmarks include semantic feature prediction, part-of-speech prediction, and context-based word understanding.
-
Results
- Visual + Word models outperform Language-Only models in capturing word similarity and semantic features in low-data scenarios.
- Visual + Word models struggle with lexical relation prediction and part-of-speech prediction compared to Language-Only models.
- Visual + Language models do not significantly outperform Language-Only models in integrating visual and distributional information.
- Flamingo models underperform CLIP and GIT models in leveraging visual information.
-
Conclusion
- Visual grounding can enhance word learning efficiency in neural language models, but challenges remain in integrating visual and distributional information effectively.
