TLDR
A holistic data-driven approach to image description generation, exploiting the vast amount of (noisy) parallel image data and associated natural language descriptions available on the web to generate novel descriptions for query images.Abstract:
We present a holistic data-driven approach to image description generation, exploiting the vast amount of (noisy) parallel image data and associated natural language descriptions available on the web. More specifically, given a query image, we retrieve existing human-composed phrases used to describe visually similar images, then selectively combine those phrases to generate a novel description for the query image. We cast the generation process as constraint optimization problems, collectively incorporating multiple interconnected aspects of language composition for content planning, surface realization and discourse structure. Evaluation by human annotators indicates that our final system generates more semantically correct and linguistically appealing descriptions than two nontrivial baselines.read more

TL;DR: This paper proposed an attention-based model that automatically learns to describe the content of images by focusing on salient objects while generating corresponding words in the output sequence, which achieved state-of-the-art performance on three benchmark datasets: Flickr8k, Flickr30k and MS COCO.

Deep visual-semantic alignments for generating image descriptions
Andrej Karpathy,Li Fei-Fei +1 more
TL;DR: A model that generates natural language descriptions of images and their regions based on a novel combination of Convolutional Neural Networks over image regions, bidirectional Recurrent Neural networks over sentences, and a structured objective that aligns the two modalities through a multimodal embedding is presented.

Long-term Recurrent Convolutional Networks for Visual Recognition and Description
Jeff Donahue,Lisa Anne Hendricks,Marcus Rohrbach,Subhashini Venugopalan,Sergio Guadarrama,Kate Saenko,Trevor Darrell +6 more
TL;DR: A novel recurrent convolutional architecture suitable for large-scale visual learning which is end-to-end trainable, and shows such models have distinct advantages over state-of-the-art models for recognition or generation which are separately defined and/or optimized.
