To create a description of an image for a given target language,\nour sequence generation models condition on feature vectors from the image, the\ndescription from the source language, and/or a multimodal vector computed over\nthe image and a description in the source language. In image description\nexperiments on the IAPR-TC12 dataset of images aligned with English and German\nsentences, we find significant and substantial improvements in BLEU4 and Meteor\nscores for models trained over multiple languages, compared to a monolingual\nbaseline.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1510.04709v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1510.04709v2.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":"multilingual-image-description-with-neural","repo_url":"https://github.com/elliottd/GroundedTranslation","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"image-captioning","task_name":"Image Captioning"},{"task_slug":null,"task_name":"Image Description"},{"task_slug":"translation","task_name":"Translation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1510.04709","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
