Caption generation on scenes with seen and unseen object categories

作者:

Highlights:

• The problem of true zero-shot image captioning (ZSC) is proposed.

• ZSC involves captioning over classes with no visual or textual train examples.

• A zero-shot object detection-driven approach is proposed to detect unseen objects.

• A template-based model is used to transform detections into sentences.

• A new evaluation metric (V-METEOR) is proposed for ZSC evaluation purposes.
