When completed, the dataset will contain over one and a half million\ncaptions describing over 330,000 images. For the training and validation\nimages, five independent human generated captions will be provided. To ensure\nconsistency in evaluation of automatic caption generation algorithms, an\nevaluation server is used. The evaluation server receives candidate captions\nand scores them using several popular metrics, including BLEU, METEOR, ROUGE\nand CIDEr. Instructions for using the evaluation server are provided.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1504.00325v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1504.00325v2.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":"microsoft-coco-captions-data-collection-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/tylin/coco-caption","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"microsoft-coco-captions-data-collection-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/Chloejay/image_caption_app","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"microsoft-coco-captions-data-collection-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/NUS-VIP/salicon-evaluation","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok"}},{"paper_slug":"microsoft-coco-captions-data-collection-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/chldydgh4687/2020-1.VideoCaptioning","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"ok"}},{"paper_slug":"microsoft-coco-captions-data-collection-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/daqingliu/coco-caption","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"NOASSERTION"}},{"paper_slug":"microsoft-coco-captions-data-collection-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/gabrielsantosrv/coco-caption","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"NOASSERTION"}},{"paper_slug":"microsoft-coco-captions-data-collection-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/jmhessel/pycocoevalcap","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"NOASSERTION"}},{"paper_slug":"microsoft-coco-captions-data-collection-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/luoweizhou/coco-caption","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"microsoft-coco-captions-data-collection-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/lvapeab/coco-caption","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"microsoft-coco-captions-data-collection-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/mtanti/coco-caption","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"microsoft-coco-captions-data-collection-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/peteanderson80/coco-caption","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"microsoft-coco-captions-data-collection-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/qingzwang/DiversityMetrics","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"microsoft-coco-captions-data-collection-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/ruotianluo/coco-caption","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"NOASSERTION"}},{"paper_slug":"microsoft-coco-captions-data-collection-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/salaniz/pycocoevalcap","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"NOASSERTION"}},{"paper_slug":"microsoft-coco-captions-data-collection-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/ttengwang/coco-caption","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"microsoft-coco-captions-data-collection-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/tuetschek/e2e-metrics","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"NOASSERTION"}},{"paper_slug":"microsoft-coco-captions-data-collection-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/vrama91/coco-caption","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"microsoft-coco-captions-data-collection-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/wenhuchen/data-to-text-evaluation-metric","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"caption-generation","task_name":"Caption Generation"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":null,"method_name":null}],"datasets_introduced":[{"slug":"coco-captions","name":"COCO Captions","full_name":""}],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1504.00325","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
