Why we included this project

Researchers getting into vision and language models often lose days to setup before they can test an idea. MMF from Facebook AI Research is built to cut that overhead. It ships reusable building blocks for tasks like visual question answering, image captioning, and hateful meme detection, along with reference implementations of leading models you can fine-tune rather than train from scratch. Data loaders for familiar benchmarks such as VQA, TextVQA, and TextCaps come ready to use, and distributed training is handled for you, so the effort goes into model design instead of infrastructure. It has also served as the starter codebase for several VQA-style challenges. Research teams starting a multimodal project, and challenge participants, will save real time building on it.
