Abstract
Presented herein are embodiments of a multimodal Recurrent Neural Network (m-RNN) model for generating novel image captions. In embodiments, it directly models the probability distribution of generating a word given a previous word or words and an image, and image captions are generated according to this distribution. In embodiments, the model comprises two sub-networks: a deep recurrent neural network for sentences and a deep convolutional network for images. In embodiments, these two sub-networks interact with each other in a multimodal layer to form the whole m-RNN model. The effectiveness of an embodiment of model was validated on four benchmark datasets, and it outperformed the state-of-the-art methods. In embodiments, the m-RNN model may also be applied to retrieval tasks for retrieving images or captions.
