Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system for responding to user posts containing images with relevant image responses during conversation between a user and a chatbot. The system receives an image post from the user and generates a description of the image using an image-to-text model. User intent is determined based on the image and description. If responding with an image is appropriate based on the user intent, the system generates a prompt using the image description and passes it to a text generation model to create an image description and caption. The image description and caption are used to synthesize a new image. The resulting image and caption are packaged into a post that is provided as a response to the user. The system uses machine learning pipelines and models to analyze images, detect inappropriate content, classify user intent, generate text, and synthesize images.
