• Authors: Yuiga Wada, Kanta Kaneda, Komei Sugiura
• Abstract summary: We propose an automatic evaluation metric called JaSPICE, which evaluates Japanese captions based on scene graphs. We conducted experiments employing 10 image captioning models trained on STAIR Captions and PFN-PIC and constructed the Shichimi dataset, which contains 103,170 human evaluations.

• Abstract: Image captioning studies heavily rely on automatic evaluation metrics such as BLEU and METEOR. However, such n-gram-based metrics have been shown to correlate poorly with human evaluation, leading to the proposal of alternative metrics such as SPICE for English; however, no equivalent metrics have been established for other languages. Therefore, in this study, we propose an automatic evaluation metric called JaSPICE, which evaluates Japanese captions based on scene graphs. The proposed method generates a scene graph from dependencies and the predicate-argument structure, and extends the graph using synonyms. We conducted experiments employing 10 image captioning models trained on STAIR Captions and PFN-PIC and constructed the Shichimi dataset, which contains 103,170 human evaluations. The results showed that our metric outperformed the baseline metrics for the correlation coefficient with the human evaluation.

  We propose a novel reference-free metric for image captioning evaluation, dubbed Hierarchical Image Captioning Evaluation Score (HICE-S) By detecting local visual regions and textual phrases, HICE-S builds an interpretable hierarchical scoring mechanism. Our proposed metric achieves the SOTA performance on several benchmarks, outperforming existing reference-free metrics.

  The evaluation process still heavily relies on closed-set metrics without considering the similarity between predicted and ground truth categories.

We designed novel evaluation metrics, namely Open mIoU, Open AP, and Open PQ, tailored for three open-vocabulary segmentation tasks.
