  • Pro-Cap: Leveraging a Frozen Vision-Language Model for Hateful Meme Detection

    Rui Cao, Ming Shan Hee, Adriel Kuek, Wen-Haw Chong, Roy Ka-Wei Lee, Jing Jiang

    ACM International Conference on Multimedia (ACM MM) · 2023

    This work proposes a probing-based captioning approach to leverage pre-trained vision-language models in a zero-shot visual question answering (VQA) manner and prompts a frozen PVLM by asking hateful content-related questions and uses the answers as image captions (which it calls Pro-Cap), so that the captions contain information critical for hateful content detection.

  • On Explaining Multimodal Hateful Meme Detection Models

    Ming Shan Hee, Roy Ka-Wei Lee, Wen-Haw Chong
