Recent approaches that use transfer learning have had interesting contributions in Visual Question Answering, Image Captioning among other applications. While models have shown interesting results, recent interest in understanding deep learning have exposed some of the glaring weaknesses of the models. In this talk I will discuss three of my recent research directions that investigate the transfer learning framework in the context of Vision to Language tasks. First, I will discuss whether the current approaches to Multimodal Language models are sufficient and discuss interesting results that indicate the distributional properties of the models. Second, I will discuss whether the training data for these models are sufficient for inferring the quality of the models. Lastly, I will quickly discuss a recent proposal that investigates a method to quantitatively investigate the performance. All three works are empirical analyses but at the same time interesting and thought provoking.
