Art Description Generation
Have you ever looked at a painting and wondered what is the story behind it?
We present a framework to bring art closer to people by generating comprehensive descriptions of fine-art paintings.
Art Descriptions
There are three main topics that are used to talk about art:
Content: what the artwork is about.
Form: how the work looks.
Context: in what circumstances was conceived.
Topic Annotations
We manually annotated the SemArt dataset:
33,543 sentences
17,249 images
3 topics
Download the annotations from this repository.
Our Model
Multi-topic: it modules the generated sentences according to the three topics: content, form, context.
Knowledgeable: Enhances each description with external knowledge, such as artist, year, location, etc.
