ClipCap fine-tuned for Scene Image Captioning

ClipCap base trained on the HL Dataset for high-level scene descriptions generation

Model fine-tuning 🏋️‍

We fine-tune LM + Mapping Network starting from the model pretrained on COCO

• Trained for 9 epochs
• lr: 5e−5
• Adam optimizer
• half-precision (fp16)
