We\ncondition this process on language, allowing end users to manipulate a\ncolorized image by feeding in different captions. We present two different\narchitectures for language-conditioned colorization, both of which produce more\naccurate and plausible colorizations than a language-agnostic version. Through\nthis language-based framework, we can dramatically alter colorizations by\nmanipulating descriptive color words in captions.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1804.06026v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.06026v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"learning-to-color-from-language","repo_url":"https://github.com/superhans/colorfromlanguage","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"colorization","task_name":"Colorization"},{"task_slug":"descriptive","task_name":"Descriptive"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"colorization","method_name":"Colorization"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1804.06026","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
