What is vit-gpt2-image-captioning_COCO_FineTuned?
This is a sophisticated image captioning model that combines the power of Vision Transformer (ViT) for image processing with GPT-2 for natural language generation. Fine-tuned on the COCO dataset, it excels at generating human-like descriptions of images, bridging the gap between computer vision and natural language processing.
Implementation Details
The model architecture consists of two main components working in tandem: a ViT encoder that processes 224x224 pixel images to extract visual features, and a GPT-2 decoder that transforms these features into coherent captions. The model underwent a rigorous fine-tuning process spanning approximately 12 hours, utilizing the comprehensive COCO dataset.
