Open source image captioning project may be of interest: https://research.googleblog.com/2016/09/show-and-tell-image- captioning-open.html Perhaps ideal for providing automatic captions to be corrected by the crowd or professional curators. An evaluation on arxiv gives examples: http://arxiv.org/abs/1609.06647 Not completely accurate but they look like a good starting point. <https://research.googleblog.com/2016/09/show-and-tell-image-captioning-open.html> -Jodi via.... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dario Taraborelli <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, Sep 27, 2016 at 4:08 PM Subject: Re: [Wiki-research-l] Google open source research on automatic image captioning To: Research into Wikimedia content and communities < [log in to unmask]> Cc: Wikimedia Foundation Multimedia Team <[log in to unmask]>, Application of Artificial Intelligence and other advanced computing strategies to Wikimedia Projects <[log in to unmask]> I forwarded this separately to internally at WMF a few days ago. Clearly – before thinking of building workflows for human contributors to generate captions or rich descriptors of media files in Commons – we should look at what's available in terms of off-the-shelf machine learning services and libraries. #1 rule of sane citizen science/crowdsourcing projects: don't ask humans to perform tedious tasks machines are pretty good at, get humans to curate inputs and outputs of machines instead.
