Abstract

Extracting context from visual representations is of utmost importance in the advancement of Computer Science. Representation of such a format in Natural Language has a huge variety of applications such as helping the visually impaired etc. Such an approach is a combination of Computer Vision and Natural Language techniques which is a hard problem to solve. This project aims to compare different approaches for solving the image captioning problem. In specific, the focus was on comparing two different types of models: Encoder-Decoder approach and a Multi-model approach. In the encoder-decoder approach, inject and merge architectures were compared against a multi-modal image captioning approach based primarily on object detection. These approaches have been compared on the basis on state of the art sentence comparison metrics such as BLEU, GLEU, Meteor, and Rouge on a subset of the Google Conceptual captions dataset which contains 100k images. On the basis of this comparison, we observed that the best model was the Inception injected encoder model. This best approach has been deployed as a web-based system. On uploading an image, such a system will output the best caption associated with the image.
