Social Impact

Being able to automatically describe the content of an image using properly formed sentences in any language is a challenging task, but it could have great impact by helping visually impaired people better understand their surroundings.

Our initial plan was to include 4 high-resource and 4 low-resource languages (Marathi, Bengali, Urdu, Telegu) in our training data. However, the existing translations do not perform as well and we would have received poor labels, not to mention, with a longer training time.
