The advent of vision-language pre-training techniques enhanced substantial progress in the development of models for image captioning. However, these models frequently produce generic captions and may omit semantically important image…
Visual captioning aims to generate textual descriptions given images or videos. Traditionally, image captioning models are trained on human annotated datasets such as Flickr30k and MS-COCO, which are limited in size and diversity. This…

Zero-shot image captioning (IC) without well-paired image-text data can be divided into two categories, training-free and text-only-training. Generally, these two types of methods realize zero-shot IC by integrating pretrained…
Cross-Domain Image Retrieval (CDIR) is a challenging task in computer vision, aiming to match images across different visual domains such as sketches, paintings, and photographs. Existing CDIR methods rely either on supervised learning with…
In this paper we explore the bi-directional mapping between images and their sentence-based descriptions. We propose learning this mapping using a recurrent neural network. Unlike previous approaches that map both sentences and images to a…
Image paragraph captioning aims to describe a given image with a sequence of coherent sentences. Most existing methods model the coherence through the topic transition that dynamically infers a topic vector from preceding sentences.…
