Abstract

Currently, the demand for automation in information technology industry is increasing at rapid rate. Leading companies in artificial intelligence and computer vision have started investing in the research and making new products that can easily do the redundant work done by humans, ultimately increasing the productivity and reducing the cost of doing work. Industrial artificial intelligence can create new business models, can automate the industrial tasks which are redundant and can be easily done by specifically trained machines. The work is experimented with various feature extraction methods, like Visual Geometry Group (VGG-16) and VGG-19, and a smaller proposed five-layer convolution neural network (CNN-5) to generate captions for an image. The performances of these methods are compared using BLEU-1, BLEU-2, BLEU-3 and BLEU-4 scores. Various experiments have been conducted to see the effect of different hyper-parameters, like number of layers, learning rate, dropout, on the model accuracy measured by BLEU score. The effect of the input length (15, 34 and 40) of the sequence of text data on the LSTM network is also being analyzed and reported in the results section. The experiments are conducted on benchmark Flickr-8 K dataset which contains 8000 images and their respective descriptions in a text file. Each image was described by five different people and the text file contains image id and their respective five descriptions for each of the 8000 images.
