Our submission focuses on solving two indeterminacy problems in automated audio captioning: word selection indeterminacy and sentence length indeterminacy. We simultaneously solve the main caption generation and sub indeterminacy problems by estimating keywords and sentence length through multi-task learning. We tested a simplified model of our submission using the development-testing dataset. Our model achieved 20.7 SPIDEr score where that of the baseline system was 5.4.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.00225v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2007.00225v1.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":[],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"audio-captioning","task_name":"Audio captioning"},{"task_slug":"caption-generation","task_name":"Caption Generation"},{"task_slug":"multi-task-learning","task_name":"Multi-Task Learning"},{"task_slug":"sentence","task_name":"Sentence"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[{"leaderboard":"/sota/audio-captioning-on-clotho","task":"Audio captioning","dataset":"Clotho","model":"Ensemble","rank_in_archive_order":8,"of":11,"metrics":{"CIDEr":"0.319","SPICE":"0.094","SPIDEr":"0.207"},"uses_additional_data":false}],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
