• Abstract: Image memes have become a widespread tool used by people for interacting and exchanging ideas over social media, blogs, and open messengers. This work proposes to treat automatic image meme generation as a translation process, and further present an end to end neural and probabilistic approach to generate an image-based meme for any given sentence using an encoder-decoder architecture. For a given input sentence, an image meme is generated by combining a meme template image and a text caption where the meme template image is selected from a set of popular candidates using a selection module, and the meme caption is generated by an encoder-decoder model. An encoder is used to map the selected meme template and the input sentence into a meme embedding and a decoder is used to decode the meme caption from the meme embedding. The generated natural language meme caption is conditioned on the input sentence and the selected meme template. The model learns the dependencies between the meme captions and the meme template images and generates new memes using the learned dependencies. The quality of the generated captions and the generated memes is evaluated through both automated and human evaluation. An experiment is designed to score how well the generated memes can represent the tweets from Twitter conversations. Experiments on Twitter data show the efficacy of the model in generating memes for sentences in online social interaction.

  We explore the potential of Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) for hateful meme detection. We propose Evolver, which incorporates LMMs via Chain-of-Evolution (CoE) Prompting. Evolver simulates the evolving and expressing process of memes and reasons through LMMs in a step-by-step manner.

  Multimodal Internet Memes are now a ubiquitous fixture in online discourse. Memetics are the process by which memes are imitated and transformed into symbols. We develop a meme identification protocol which distinguishes meme from non-memetic content by recognising the memetics within it.

  We collect hateful and non-hateful memes from Pinterest to evaluate out-of-sample performance on models pre-trained on the Facebook dataset. We find that memes in the wild differ in two key aspects: 1) Captions must be extracted via OCR, and 2) Memes are more diverse than traditional memes', including screenshots of conversations or text on a plain background.
