Code for learning to generate stylized image captions from unaligned text

SemStyle

Code and models for learning to generate stylized image captions from unaligned text.

A full list of semstyle results on MSCOCO images can be found here.

A pytorch rewrite of SemStyle is included in "./code".

• This software is written in python 2.7 it assumes that you have installed (or a conda environment containing) torch, torchvision, scipy

• To setup the semstyle models go to "./code/models/" and run "download.sh". Then from "./code" run: python img_to_text.py --test_folder <folder with your test images>

  • The --cpu flag will disable the gpu.
  • If not already installed, the system will start by downloading inception.v3 image classification model to the local torch directory, this may take a while (https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/torchvision/models.html)

• Training code is included.

• Scripts to generate the training data from publicly available sources is coming.

Online demo

For a limited time (while cpu cycles last): Live demo, caption your own images

A blog post decribing the SemStyle system is here: http://cm.cecs.anu.edu.au/post/semstyle/
