1. **[A-OKVQA: A Benchmark for Visual Question Answering using World Knowledge](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/schwenk-2022-okvqa-benchmark-visual-question-answering/)** *(2022 · 509 citations)* Large pretrained vision–language models have nearly saturated many Visual Question Answering benchmarks. One reason is that the questions in these benchmarks are formulaic, need little knowledge beyond the picture, and require only shallow inference. A-OKVQA, an extension of the authors' earlier OK-VQA, addresses…
