Query: SimVQA: Exploring Simulated Environments for Visual Question Answering   Existing work on VQA explores data augmentation to achieve better
generalization by perturbing the images in the dataset or modifying the
existing questions and answers. While these methods exhibit good performance,
the diversity of the questions and answers are constrained by the available
image set. In this work we explore using synthetic computer-generated data to
fully control the visual and language space, allowing us to provide more
diverse scenarios. We quantify the effect of synthetic data in real-world VQA
benchmarks and to which extent it produces results that generalize to real
data. By exploiting 3D and physics simulation platforms, we provide a pipeline
to generate synthetic data to expand and replace type-specific questions and
answers without risking the exposure of sensitive or personal data that might
be present in real images. We offer a comprehensive analysis while expanding
existing hyper-realistic datasets to be used for VQA. We also propose Feature
Swapping (F-SWAP) -- where we randomly switch object-level features during
training to make a VQA model more domain invariant. We show that F-SWAP is
effective for enhancing a currently existing VQA dataset of real images without
compromising on the accuracy to answer existing questions in the dataset.
