What is vit-rugpt2-image-captioning?
vit-rugpt2-image-captioning is a groundbreaking image captioning model specifically designed for the Russian language. It combines a Vision Transformer (ViT) encoder with a Russian GPT-2 decoder to generate natural language descriptions of images. The model was trained on a Russian-translated version of the COCO2014 dataset, marking it as the first dedicated image captioning model for Russian language content.
Implementation Details
The model architecture consists of google/vit-base-patch16-224-in21k as the encoder and sberbank-ai/rugpt3large_based_on_gpt2 as the decoder. It achieves a BLEU score of 8.672, with specific precision metrics of 30.567 for unigrams, 7.895 for bigrams, and 3.261 for trigrams.
