1. Image Caption Generator

2. Introduction Objective: To build a model that generates captions for images using a combination of deep learning and attention mechanisms. Key Points: Image feature extraction with VGG16 (pre-trained model). Caption generation using encoder-decoder architecture with attention. Evaluation using BLEU scores.

3. Dataset Dataset: Flickr8k Dataset Images: 8000 images of various scenes. Captions: 5 captions per image. Source: Link to the dataset. Preprocessing: Images resized to 224x224. Captions cleaned and tokenized.

4. VGG16 Feature Extraction: Using VGG16 model to extract image features. Last classification layer removed. Output: 4096-dimension feature vector for each image.

5. Caption Cleaning: Convert to lowercase. Remove non-alphabetic characters. Add startseq and endseq tokens. Tokenization: Convert text to sequences using Tokenizer. Vocabulary size calculated. Maximum caption length determined. Text PreProcesing

6. Functionality: Generates training data batches. Outputs pairs of image features and tokenized captions. Reduces memory usage by avoiding loading all data at once. Data Generator

7. Model Architecture Encoder-Decoder with Attention: Encoder: Processes image features using Dense and LSTM layers. Attention Mechanism: Aligns image features with corresponding words in the caption. Decoder: Generates the next word in the caption using LSTM.

8. Attention Mechanism Functionality: Focuses on relevant parts of the image when generating each word. Attention scores are calculated using the Dot layer. Importance: Helps the model align visual features with the corresponding text more effectively.

9. Model Training Training Setup: Epochs: 50 Batch Size: 32 Loss Function: Categorical Crossentropy Optimizer: Adam Validation: Split the dataset (90% training, 10% validation).

10. Results: Caption Generation

11. Evaluation with BLUE Scores Evaluation Metric: BLEU-1: Measures unigram precision. BLEU-2: Measures bigram precision. Scores:

12. Challenges Challenges Encountered : Handling long captions with complex dependencies. Attention model tuning. BLEU score sensitivity to short captions.

13. Deployment on Streamlit

14. Conclusion Key Conclusion: Successfully built an image captioning model using VGG16 and LSTM with attention. Achieved meaningful results as evaluated by BLEU scores. Future Work: Fine-tuning: Experiment with fine-tuning the captioning model architecture and hyperparameters for improved performance. Dataset Expansion: Incorporate additional datasets to increase the diversity and complexity of the trained model for example we can train the model on Flickr30k dataset.
