It treats two linked tasks. Generation means producing such a phrase for a highlighted region. Comprehension means picking the correct region from a set of candidate boxes, given a phrase. The authors argue that this… 2. **[Deep Captioning with Multimodal Recurrent Neural Networks (m-RNN)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mao-2014-deep-captioning-multimodal-recurrent-neural/)** *(2014 · 715 citations)* The paper addresses automatic image captioning. Many earlier systems picked captions from a fixed sentence database and so could not describe unseen combinations of objects and scenes. The authors propose m-RNN, a generative model that estimates the probability of each next word given the preceding words and the… ## All works 4 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Generation and Comprehension of Unambiguous Object Descriptions](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mao-2015-generation-comprehension-unambiguous-object-descriptions/) [IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/ieee-computer-society-conference-on-computer-vision-and-pattern-recognition/)**Junhua Mao, Jonathan Huang, Alexander Toshev, et al.*2015 · 1,388 citations* 2. **[CNN-RNN: A Unified Framework for Multi-label Image Classification ↗](https://doi.org/10.1109/cvpr.2016.251) IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings - IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings · no summary yet**Jiang Wang et al.*2016 · 1,218 citations* 3. **[Deep Captioning with Multimodal Recurrent Neural Networks (m-RNN)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mao-2014-deep-captioning-multimodal-recurrent-neural/) [International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/international-conference-on-learning-representations-iclr/)**Junhua Mao, Wei Xu, Yi Yang, et al.*2014 · 715 citations* 4. **[Attention Correctness in Neural Image Captioning ↗](https://doi.org/10.1609/aaai.v31i1.11197) Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence · no summary yet**Chenxi Liu et al.*2017 · 218 citations* ## Co-authors here 6 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Alan Yuille](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/alan-yuille/) ×2 - [Alexander Toshev](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/alexander-toshev/) - [Kevin P.
