Abstract: Systems and methods for training a visual question answer model include training a teacher model by performing image conditional visual question generation on a visual language model (VLM) and a targeted visual question answer dataset using images to generate question and answer pairs. Unlabeled images are pseudolabeled using the teacher model to decode synthetic question and answer pairs for the unlabeled images. The synthetic question and answer pairs for the unlabeled images are merged with real data from the targeted visual question answer dataset to generate a self-augmented training set. A student model is trained using the VLM and the self-augmented training set to return visual answers to text queries.
