Recent Advances in Video Question Answering: A Review of Datasets and Methods

Abstract: Video Question Answering (VQA) is a recent emerging challenging task in the field of Computer Vision. Several visual information retrieval techniques like Video Captioning/Description and Video-guided Machine Translation have preceded the task of VQA. VQA helps to retrieve temporal and spatial information from the video scenes and interpret it. In this survey, we review a number of methods and datasets for the task of VQA. To the best of our knowledge, no previous survey has been conducted for the VQA task.
