• Abstract: Image captioning research achieved breakthroughs in recent years by developing neural models that can generate diverse and high-quality descriptions for images drawn from the same distribution as training images. However, when facing out-of-distribution (OOD) images, such as corrupted images, or images containing unknown objects, the models fail in generating relevant captions. In this paper, we consider the problem of OOD detection in image captioning. We formulate the problem and suggest an evaluation setup for assessing the model's performance on the task. Then, we analyze and show the effectiveness of the caption's likelihood score at detecting and rejecting OOD images, which implies that the relatedness between the input image and the generated caption is encapsulated within the score.

  We propose an evaluation framework rooted in a modern large language model (LLM) capable of image generation. A high similarity score suggests that the image captioning model has accurately generated textual descriptions. A low similarity score indicates discrepancies, revealing potential shortcomings in the model's performance.

  This work presents a novel approach towards developing image captioning models that utilize an external kNN memory to improve the generation process. Specifically, we propose two model variants that incorporate a knowledge retriever component that is based on visual similarities. We experimentally validate our approach on COCO and nocaps datasets and demonstrate that incorporating an explicit external memory can significantly enhance the quality of captions.

  We address the challenging problem of image captioning by revisiting the representation of image scene graph.

We design a deep model to select important sub-graphs, and to decode each selected sub-graph into a single target sentence.
