• Authors: Honori Udo and Takafumi Koshinaka
• Abstract summary: Image captioning, a.k.a. "image-to-text," generates descriptive text from given images. We have performed experiments involving the classification of images from descriptive text alone. We have evaluated several image captioning models with respect to a disaster image classification task, CrisisNLP.

• Abstract: Image captioning, a.k.a. "image-to-text," which generates descriptive text from given images, has been rapidly developing throughout the era of deep learning. To what extent is the information in the original image preserved in the descriptive text generated by an image captioner? To answer that question, we have performed experiments involving the classification of images from descriptive text alone, without referring to the images at all, and compared results with those from standard image-based classifiers. We have evaluate several image captioning models with respect to a disaster image classification task, CrisisNLP, and show that descriptive text classifiers can sometimes achieve higher accuracy than standard image-based classifiers. Further, we show that fusing an image-based classifier with a descriptive text classifier can provide improvement in accuracy.

  This study investigates inclusive text-to-image generative models that generate images based on human-written prompts. We show that, for some attributes, images can represent concepts more expressively than text. We propose a novel approach, ITI-GEN, that leverages readily available reference images for Inclusive Text-to-Image GENeration.

  We propose a non-invasive fine-tuning technique that capitalizes on the expressive potential of free-form text. Our method is fast compared to prior fine-tuning methods and does not require a collection of in-class images. We evaluate our method extensively, showing that the generated images are: (i) more accurate and of higher quality than standard diffusion models, (ii) can be used to augment training data in a low-resource setting, and (iii) reveal information about the data used to train the guiding classifier.

• Multi-Modal Image Captioning for the Visually Impaired [0.0]
  One of the ways blind people understand their surroundings is by clicking images and relying on descriptions generated by image captioning systems. Current work on captioning images for the visually impaired do not use the textual data present in the image when generating captions. In this work, we propose altering AoANet, a state-of-the-art image captioning model, to leverage the text detected in the image as an input feature.

• Telling the What while Pointing the Where: Fine-grained Mouse Trace and Language Supervision for Improved Image Retrieval [60.24860627782486]
  Fine-grained image retrieval often requires the ability to also express the where in the image the content they are looking for is. In this paper, we describe an image retrieval setup where the user simultaneously describes an image using both spoken natural language (the "what") and mouse traces over an empty canvas (the "where") Our model is capable of taking this spatial guidance into account, and provides more accurate retrieval results compared to text-only equivalent systems.
