Fine-grained Image Captioning with CLIP Reward (2022.findings-naacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Modern image captioning models are usually trained with text similarity objectives . reference captions often describe only the most salient objects in images . |
| Approach: | They propose to use CLIP to calculate multi-modal similarity and use it as a reward function . they propose a simple finetuning strategy to improve grammar that does not require extra text annotation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model generates more distinctive captions than the CIDEroptimized model on text-to-image retrieval and fineCapEval. |

| Challenge: | Existing metrics based on text-level comparisons fail to assess the quality of captions produced by machines. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a machine-learned text-image grounding model to measure the accuracy of machine-generated captions and their correlation with human judgments. |
| Outcome: | The proposed metric has higher consistency with human judgments and is more accurate than existing metrics. |
