Abstract

An image question answering method includes: extracting a question feature representing a semantic meaning of a question, a global feature of an image, and a detection frame feature of a detection frame encircling an object in the image; obtaining a first weight of each of at least one area of the image and a second weight of each of at least one detection frame of the image according to question feature, global feature, and detection frame feature; performing weighting processing on global feature by using first weight to obtain an area attention feature of image; performing weighting processing on detection frame feature by using second weight to obtain a detection frame attention feature of image; and predicting an answer to question according to question feature, area attention feature, and detection frame attention feature.
