TLDR
This work proposes to frame sentence-based image annotation as the task of ranking a given pool of captions, and introduces a new benchmark collection, consisting of 8,000 images that are each paired with five different captions which provide clear descriptions of the salient entities and events.Abstract:
In [Hodosh et al., 2013], we establish a rankingbased framework for sentence-based image description and retrieval. We introduce a new dataset of images paired with multiple descriptive captions that was specifically designed for these tasks. We also present strong KCCA-based baseline systems for description and search, and perform an in-depth study of evaluation metrics for these two tasks. Our results indicate that automatic evaluation metrics for our ranking-based tasks are more accurate and robust than those proposed for generation-based image description.read more

Show, Attend and Tell: Neural Image Caption Generation with Visual Attention
Kelvin Xu,Jimmy Ba,Ryan Kiros,Kyunghyun Cho,Aaron Courville,Ruslan Salakhutdinov,Richard S. Zemel,Yoshua Bengio +7 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.

CIDEr: Consensus-based image description evaluation
TL;DR: A novel paradigm for evaluating image descriptions that uses human consensus is proposed and a new automated metric that captures human judgment of consensus better than existing metrics across sentences generated by various sources is evaluated.

Long short-term memory
TL;DR: A novel, efficient, gradient based method called long short-term memory (LSTM) is introduced, which can learn to bridge minimal time lags in excess of 1000 discrete-time steps by enforcing constant error flow through constant error carousels within special units.

Very Deep Convolutional Networks for Large-Scale Image Recognition
Karen Simonyan,Andrew Zisserman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of the convolutional network depth on its accuracy in the large-scale image recognition setting and showed that a significant improvement on the prior-art configurations can be achieved by pushing the depth to 16-19 layers.

Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints
TL;DR: This paper presents a method for extracting distinctive invariant features from images that can be used to perform reliable matching between different views of an object or scene and can robustly identify objects among clutter and occlusion while achieving near real-time performance.

A Coefficient of agreement for nominal Scales
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a procedure for having two or more judges independently categorize a sample of units and determine the degree, significance, and significance of the units. But they do not discuss the extent to which these judgments are reproducible, i.e., reliable.

TL;DR: A new dataset with the goal of advancing the state-of-the-art in object recognition by placing the question of object recognition in the context of the broader question of scene understanding by gathering images of complex everyday scenes containing common objects in their natural context.
