Visual News: Benchmark and Challenges in News Image Captioning (2021.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Visual News Captioner is an entity-aware model for news image captioning . Unlike standard image captions, news images depict situations where people, locations, and events are of paramount importance. |
| Approach: | They propose a visual news captioner model that integrates visual and textual features to generate captions with richer information such as events and entities. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can generate captions with richer information such as events and entities. |
