Overview

  • Examines the problem of "object hallucination" in image captioning models
  • Proposes a counterfactually regularized approach to address this issue
  • Focuses on improving the reliability and faithfulness of image captions

Plain English Explanation

Image captioning models are designed to generate textual descriptions of images. However, these models can sometimes "hallucinate" objects or details that are not actually present in the image. This can lead to inaccurate or misleading captions.

The researchers behind this pap...
