Perceptual information mainly determines what to refer to while the reasoning mechanisms tell us how and when to refer to it. Both mechanisms interact: that a particular object is described at a particular point of discourse and with particular words depends not only on its perceptual salience but also whether that object should be referred to at that point of the story that the text is narrating which is its discourse salience.

In these papers, the focus is on generating a diverse set of independent, one-sentence captions, with each describing image as a whole. Each of these captions might refer to identical objects due to the nature of the task (\"describe an image with a single sentence\"). Then, diversity is measured in terms of how different object descriptions are from one caption to another (e.g. a man can be described as a \"person\" or \"human\" in two different captions). However, as argued above, a good image paragraph model must also introduce diversity at the sentence level, describing different scene objects throughout the paragraph. Here, we define paragraph diversity with two essential conditions. First, a generative model must demonstrate the ability to use relevant words to describe objects without unnecessary repetitions (word-level diversity).

(2017) . 1 We deliberately chose to re-implement an existing model to study the effects of using different modalities (visual or language). However, through our implementation and extensions, we propose several new models based on the original model in (Krause et al., 2017) . To prepare input features, we utilise the pre-trained model for dense captioning (Johnson et al., 2016) in two ways. First, we use it to extract convolutional features of identified image regions. We also use its hidden states from the RNN layer as language features. In the original model, these states are used to generate region descriptions; therefore, these vectors represent semantic information about objects. We construct a multi-modal space, in which we learn mappings from both text and vision features. Lastly, we concatenate both modalities and attend to them to form a multi-modal vector, which is used as an input to the paragraph generator. Our paragraph generator consists of two components: discourse-level and sentence-level LSTMs (Hochreiter and Schmidhuber, 1997). First, the discourselevel LSTM learns the topic of each sentence from the multi-modal representation, capturing information flow between sentences. Second, each of the topics is used by sentence-level LSTM to generate an actual sentence. Finally, all generated sentences per image are concatenated to form a final paragraph. An overview of our model and a more detailed description is shown in Fig. 1 . Our model is different from the model by Krause et al. (2017) in the following ways: (i) we use either max-pooling or attention in our models, (ii) we do not learn to predict the end of the paragraph, but generate the same number of sentences as we find in groundtruth paragraph per each image, (iii) we use seman- Figure 1 : Multimodal paragraph generator architecture. The orange area on the left is the learned space where two modalities are attended to (vision in purple, language in green). The mapped features are concatenated together and passed to the attention mechanism, that outputs a vector which is used as an input to the discourse LSTM (in blue, marked with \u03b4 ). The attention module also uses the last hidden state of the discourse LSTM at each timestamp. The sentence LSTM (in green, marked with \u03c2 ) is given the sentence topic and word embeddings. Due to limited space, we omit the linear layer and the softmax layer which are used to predict the next word from the output of the sentence LSTM.", "cite_spans": [ { "start": 94, "end": 114, "text": "Krause et al.

We have experimented with fusing two attended modalities into a single vector via an additional linear layer but observed no improvement. We also tried to use modality-dependent attention (early attention) as such setting has shown to produce good joint representation for the task of multimodal machine translation (Caglayan et al., 2016 (Caglayan et al., , 2019 , which is very similar to image captioning in its nature. However, this set-up provided us with worse scores of automatic metrics. Therefore, here we use late attention: attending to the visual and textual features when they are already concatenated.

Concatenation, the logistic sigmoid function and element-wise multiplication are indicated with \u2295, \u03c3 and respectively. We set S depending on the number of sentences in the ground-truth paragraph with the maximum S = 6. Then, as Eq. 2 indicates, we generate attention weights for our multimodal vector mult t . We use additive (concat) attention mechanism and concatenate multimodal representation with the previous hidden state of the discourse LSTM.

We also measure lexical diversity of sentences within the generated paragraphs. For this we report self-BLEU (Zhu et al., 2018) which is sometimes referred to as mBLEU (Shetty et al., 2017) . Estimating lexical diversity is important for paragraph generation as their sentences should be neither too similar nor too different from each other. We calculate self-BLEU as follows: we split each generated paragraph into sentences and use one sentence as a hypothesis and the other sentences as references. A lower score indicates more diversity, e.g. fewer n-gram matches between compared sentences. We also calculate the diversity metric introduced by Wang and Chan (2019) . This metric applies Latent Semantic Analysis (Deerwester et al., 1990) to the weighted n-gram feature representations (CIDEr values between unique pairs of sentences) and identifies the number of topics among sentences. Compared to self-BLEU, which measures n-gram overlap, LSA combined with CIDErbased kernel metric measures semantic differences between sentences as well. More identified topics in paragraph sentences indicate a higher level of diversity.

The LNG model which utilises semantic information and uses attention is judged as the best configuration by humans, which is in line with some previous work that reports strong bias on the semantic information (Agrawal et al., 2017) . Note that while its performance is close to the IMG model in terms of word choice and object salience, the improvement of the LNG model is much more expressed in terms of sentence structure and paragraph coherence, categories where one would expect that semantic information matters most. Interestingly, max-pooling does not seem to have the same effect on utilisation of semantic information: the LNG+MAX model achieves the lowest scores. A possible explanation for this is that when using max-pooling, the same semantic information is chosen for every sentence topic. At the same time, attention learns to select different semantic information for a sequence of topics. This appears to affect semantic features more than visual features. Note that humans mostly judge models that incorporate linguistic information as the best ones for the word choice criterion.", "cite_spans": [ { "start": 1312, "end": 1334, "text": "(Agrawal et al., 2017)", "ref_id": "BIBREF0" } ], "ref_spans": [], "eq_spans": [], "section": "Human Evaluation", "sec_num": "3.4" }, { "text": "This supports the idea that utilising semantic information reduces redundancy in terms of the number of repeated words in the generated paragraph.

We believe that these results suggest the following future experiments: (i) detailed investigation of early vs. late attention (when to fuse two modalities and how), (ii) as van Miltenburg et al.

The authors hierarchically construct their model: sentence RNN is conditioned on visual features to output sentence topics. Then, each of these topics is used by another RNN to generate actual sentences. Our models are based on this hierarchical model. However, we substantially change its structure and also remove the end of paragraph prediction. Liang et al. (2017) also use the hierarchical network, but with an adversarial discriminator, that forces model to generate realistic paragraphs with smooth transitions between sentences. Chatterjee and Schwing (2018) also address cross-sentence topic consistency by modelling the global coherence vector, conditioned on all sentence topics. Different from these approaches, Melas-Kyriazi et al. (2018) employ self-critical training technique (Rennie et al., 2017) to directly optimise a target evaluation metric for image paragraph generation. Lastly, use convolutional auto-encoder for topic modelling based on region-level image features. They demonstrate that extracted topics are more representative and contain information relevant to sentence generation. We also model topic representations, but we use additional semantic representations of image objects as part of the input to our topic generator. Lin et al.

You et al. (2016) detect visual concepts found in the scene (objects, attributes) and extract top-down visual features. Both of these modalities are then fed to the RNN-based caption generator. Attention is applied on detected concepts to inform the generator about how relevant a particular concept is at each timestamp. Our approach does not use any attribute detectors to identify objects in the scene. Instead, we use the output of another pre-trained model for the task of dense captioning. Lu et al. (2017) emphasise that image is not always useful in generating some function words (\"of\", \"the\"). They introduce adaptive attention, which determines when to look at the image and when it is more important to use the language model to generate the next word. In their work, the attention vector is a mixture of visual features and visual sentinel, a vector obtained through the additional gate function on decoder memory state. Our model is guided by their approach: we are interested in deciding which type of information is more relevant at a particular timestamp, but we also look at how merging two modalities into a single representation performs and how it affects attention of the model. Closest to our work is the work by Liang et al. (2017) , who apply attention to region description representation and use it to assist recurrent word generation in producing sentences in a paragraph. Similar to our approach, they also supply their model with embeddings of local phrases used to describe image objects. However, they use textual phrases directly, while we are using hidden representations from the model trained to generate such phrases (Johnson et al., 2016) .
