Abstract

Validation of alt text for images in web pages includes extracting image data from the web pages, the image data including source data and alt text data for a plurality of image elements in the web pages. Natural language descriptions of the image elements are generated by providing images defined by the source data to a computer vision component. Prompts are then generated for a semantic comparison model. The prompts include the natural language descriptions of image elements and the alt text for the image elements. The semantic comparison model is trained to output similarity scores for the prompts. Each of the similarity scores is indicative of a similarity between the natural language description and the alt text data for the image element associated with each prompt. Image elements having inaccurate alt text can then be determined based the similarity score.
