The article discusses a new framework developed by Huawei Inc. for image captioning which emphasizes performance and efficiency. It outlines the methodology used in its development, including model architecture and training techniques like knowledge distillation. The authors also present extensive experimental results, including comparisons with state-of-the-art techniques on datasets like Nocaps. Despite the promising results, the article notes several limitations, particularly surrounding the computational demands of the visual backbone and the need for more training data to enhance the model further.
The proposed framework exhibits super-balanced performance and efficiency, but has limitations such as the computational cost of the visual backbone and restricted training data.
Future work aims to include training an EfficientNet-based CLIP model to improve feature extraction latency, as well as enhancing the amount of pre-training data.
