Earlier studies mostly compared final test perplexity across ablated variants. The authors use character-level language modeling as a transparent testbed. They train vanilla RNN, LSTM and GRU models of several depths and sizes on two corpora at… 3. **[CLEVR: A Diagnostic Dataset for Compositional Language and Elementary Visual Reasoning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/johnson-2016-clevr-diagnostic-dataset-compositional-language/)** *(2016 · 464 citations)* Visual question answering (VQA) benchmarks are meant to measure whether systems can reason about images. In practice, models can score well on them by exploiting statistical regularities in the questions, and a single wrong answer can come from several different failures.
