Synthesizing Novel Pairs of Image and Text

Abstract: Generating novel pairs of image and text is a problem that combines computer vision and natural language processing. In this paper, we present strategies for generating novel image and caption pairs based on existing captioning datasets. The model takes advantage of recent advances in generative adversarial networks and sequence-to-sequence modeling. We make generalizations to generate paired samples from multiple domains. Furthermore, we study cycles -- generating from image to text then back to image and vise versa, as well as its connection with autoencoders.
