The proposed Mixture of Rationales (MoR) method is a novel multi-modal reasoning approach for zero-shot visual question answering (VQA). Unlike existing methods that rely on a single rationale within the Chain of Thoughts (CoT) framework, MoR mixes multiple rationales to capture the complexity of VQA. This approach uses a frozen Vision-and-Language Pre-trained Models (VLPM) model to dynamically generate and fuse multi-modal thoughts. The authors evaluate MoR on two challenging VQA datasets, NLVR2 and OKVQA, with OFA and VL-T5 as representative backbones. MoR achieves significant accuracy improvements of 12.43% on NLVR2 and 2.45% on OKVQA-S.

MoR is a new way for computers to answer questions about pictures without being trained beforehand. It’s like having a conversation with someone, but instead of words, it uses images and text together. This method is special because it takes multiple ideas from different sources and combines them to get the best answer. It was tested on two difficult picture-question tasks and did better than other methods in finding the right answers.
