Visual Commonsense Reasoning
On VCR, a model must not only answer commonsense visual questions, but also provide a rationale that explains why the answer is true.
Submitting to the leaderboard
Submission is easy! You just need to email Rowan (rowanz at cs.washington.edu) with your predictions. Formatting instructions are below:
Please include in your email 1) a name for your model, 2) your team name (including your affiliation), and optionally, 3) a github repo or paper link.
If you submit an ensemble, please tell me how many models you used in your ensemble.
I'll try to get back to you within a few days, usually sooner. Teams can only submit results from a model once every 7 days.
I reserve the right to not score any of your submissions if you cheat -- for instance, please don't make up a bunch of fake names / email addresses and send me multiple submissions under those names.
What kinds of submissions are allowed?
The only constraint is that your system must predict the answer first, then the rationale. (The rationales were selected to be highly relevant to the correct Q,A pair, so they leak information about the correct answer.)
- To deter this, the submission format involves submitting predictions for each possible rationale, conditioned on each possible answer.
- A simple way of setting up the experiments (used in the paper) is to consider a task with query and four response choices. For Q->A the query is the question, and the response choices are the answers. For QA->R, the query is the question and answer, concatenated together, and the response choices are the rationales.

There are two different subtasks to VCR:
- Question Answering (Q->A): In this setup, a model is provided a question, and has to pick the best answer out of four choices. Only one of the four is correct.
- Answer Justification (QA->R): In this setup, a model is provided a question, along with the correct answer, and it has to justify it by picking the best rationale out of four choices.
We combine the two parts with the Q->AR metric, in which a model only gets a question right if it answers correctly and picks the right rationale. Models are evaluated in terms of accuracy (%). How well will your model do?
