Abstract
This disclosure relates to a neural symbolic action transformer for video question answering. A mechanism for performing AI-based video question answering is provided. A video parser parses an input video data sequence to generate situational data structures, each including data elements corresponding to entities and a first relation between the entities, said entities and the first relation being identified by the video parser as existing in images of the input video data sequence. A first machine learning computer model operates on the situational data structures to predict a second relation between the situational data structures. A second machine learning computer model executes on a received input question to predict an executable program to be executed to answer the received question. This program executes on the situational data structures and the predicted second relation. An answer to the question is output based on the result of executing the program.
