Notes on Image Captioning

Repository summary

A structured set of research notes on Image Captioning, with concrete evaluation references and open questions. Plans and hypotheses are kept separate from completed results.

What is covered

• the scope of the research question and likely confounders
• a proposed comparison with matched baselines
• concrete evaluation context such as MS COCO Captions, NoCaps, and TextCaps
• reproducibility checks, failure modes, and open questions
• topic-relevant references

How to read this repository

Start with notes.md for the full note. Sections labeled as plans or hypotheses should not be interpreted as experimental results. If results are added later, they should include dataset versions, commands, seeds, hardware, and raw logs.

Scope and limitations

The note is intentionally exploratory. It does not claim benchmark improvements, completed ablations, released code, or a trained checkpoint. References and proposed datasets provide a starting point for verification rather than evidence that the study has already been run.
