Apparatus and method for automatically generating image caption by applying deep learning algorithm to an image

Abstract

An apparatus and method for automatically generating an image caption is provided capable of giving an explanation by using Bayesian inference and an image area-word mapping module on the basis of a deep learning algorithm. An apparatus for automatically generating an image caption, according to one embodiment of the present invention, includes: an automatic caption generation module for creating a caption by applying a deep learning algorithm to an image received from a client; a caption basis generation module for creating a basis for the caption by mapping a partial area in the image received from the client with respect to important words in the caption received from the automatic caption generation module; and a visualization module for visualizing the caption received from the automatic caption generation module and the basis for the caption received from the caption basis generation module to return same to the client.
