Efficient Modeling of Future Context for Image Captioning. (arXiv:2207.10897v1 [cs.CV])

Existing approaches to image captioning usually generate the sentence
word-by-word from left to right, with the constraint of conditioned on local
context including the given image and history generated words. There have been
many studies target to make use of global information during decoding, e.g.,
iterative refinement. However, it is still under-explored how to effectively
and efficiently incorporate the future context. To respond to this issue,
inspired by that Non-Autoregressive Image Captioning (NAIC) can leverage
two-side relation with modified mask …
