CONTRASTIVE CAPTIONING FOR IMAGE GROUPS

Abstract:

A group captioning system includes computing hardware, software, and/or firmware components in support of the enhanced group captioning contemplated herein. In operation, the system generates a target embedding for a group of target images, as well as a reference embedding for a group of reference images. The system identifies information in-common between the group of target images and the group of reference images and removes the joint information from the target embedding and the reference embedding. The result is a contrastive group embedding that includes a contrastive target embedding and a contrastive reference embedding with which to construct a contrastive group embedding, which is then input to a model to obtain a group caption for the target group of images.
