Guidelines
Vision-language models have made significant strides in interpreting and generating descriptions from visual data. However, their ability to perform complex relational reasoning remains a challenge. Relational reasoning involves understanding the relationships between different entities within a context, which is crucial for tasks such as visual question answering and scene understanding. Santoro et al. proposed a simple neural network module designed specifically to enhance relational reasoning in neural networks [1]. This thesis aims to explore the effectiveness of such modules when integrated into vision-language models.

The objective of this bachelor thesis is to implement a vision-language model enhanced with a relational reasoning module as described by Santoro et al. in "A simple neural network module for relational reasoning" (2017) [1]. The student will benchmark this enhanced model against a standard vision-language model, focusing on performance in relational reasoning tasks. This comparative analysis will help in understanding the impact of integrating relational reasoning capabilities into vision-language models.

Preliminary scope of work in English
The goal of the thesis is to implement and benchmark a vision-langauge model with a relational module as presented in an earlier work by Santoro et al. and compare its performance to a pure vision-language model on a relational reasoning dataset.
