Abstract
In some examples, a computing device refines feature information of query text. The device repeatedly determines attention information based at least in part on feature information of the image and the feature information of the query text, and modifies the feature information of the query text based at least in part on the attention information. The device selects at least one of a predetermined plurality of outputs based at least in part on the refined feature information of the query text. In some examples, the device operates a convolutional computational model to determine feature information of the image. The device network computational models (NCMs) to determine feature information of the query and to determine attention information based at least in part on the feature information of the image and the feature information of the query. Examples include a microphone to detect audio corresponding to the query text.
