Abstract

Aiming at the problem that the current image caption approaches can only describe the image with a black box architecture, which is difficult to control from the outside. This paper creatively transformed the problem of image caption into the problem of seq2seq, and achieved the effect of controllable generation of image caption. It designed an entity set or entity sequence composed of image regions as the control signal, under the guidance of the block sentry with entity block switching and the adaptive attention mechanism with visual sentry, regularly input the control signal into the double-layer long short term memory(LSTM), it guided the model to generate the corresponding image caption in a controllable way. In addition, baseline used cross-entropy loss to train and early stop the model, and introduced the idea of reinforcement learning to solve the problem that the optimization target in training was inconsistent with the index in evaluating the algorithm effect, so as to further optimize the model effect. The experimental results show that: on MSCOCO and Flickr30k datasets, the proposed algorithm achieves great results in generating controllable image caption, caption quality and diversity.
