Bahdanau Attention Based Bengali Image Caption Generation

Abstract

In the past few years, many works are done in object detection using images and machine translation. Inspired by those works we introduced Bahdanau Attention Based Bengali Image Caption Generation (BABBICG) that generate automatically bangla caption based on images. The Conventional encoder-decoder architectures performance curse will reduce by Bahdanau Attention and achieving momentous improvements over encoder-decoder architectures. In this work, we extract features from images using InceptionV3 neural network and generate caption using RNN decoder. We used Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) approach as RNN. We evaluate the model using BanglaLekhaImageCaptions dataset from Mendeley Data that can help to generate bangla caption.
