• Abstract: Recently, tuning the pre-trained language model (PLM) in a parameter-efficient manner becomes a popular topic in the natural language processing area. However, most of them focus on tuning the PLM with the text-only information. In this work, we propose a new perspective to tune the frozen PLM with images for caption generation. We denote our method as I-Tuning, which can automatically filter the vision information from images to adjust the output hidden states of PLM. Evaluating on the image captioning tasks (MSCOCO and Flickr30k Captioning), our method achieves comparable or even better performance than the previous models which have 2-4 times more trainable parameters and/or consume a large amount of cross-modal pre-training data.

  Traditional image captioning methods often overlook the preferences and characteristics of users. Most existing methods emphasize the user context fusion process by memory networks or transformers. We propose a novel personalized image captioning framework that leverages user context to consider personality factors.

  Masked language modeling (MLM) is one of the key sub-tasks in vision-language training. In the cross-modal setting, tokens in the sentence are masked at random, and the model predicts the masked tokens given the image and the text. We investigate a range of alternative masking strategies specific to the cross-modal setting that address these shortcomings.
