Abstract: Provided is a one-shot solution to visual language reasoning. Example systems described herein decompose the challenge of visual language reasoning into two steps: translation of a graphical depiction of data (e.g., a plot or chart) into text; followed by reasoning over the translated text. In particular, example systems described herein can include a machine-learned visual-to-language conversion model that translates a graphical depiction of a dataset to a set of text descriptive of the dataset. The output of visual-to-language conversion model can then be directly used to prompt a language model, (e.g., a pretrained large language model (LLM)), exploiting the few-shot reasoning capabilities of the language model.
