COMIC: Towards a Compact Image Captioning Model with Attention

This repo contains pre-trained model checkpoints ONLY. The main repo is here.

Released on 05 June 2019.

Using the checkpoints

Just point infer.py to the directory containing the checkpoints. Model configurations are loaded from config.pkl.

For example:

python infer.py   \
    --infer_checkpoints_dir mscoco/radix_b256_add_LN_softmax_h8_tie_lstm_cnnFT_run_01

Version

The checkpoints should be compatible with release v1.0 through v1.1.

Misc

The size of the checkpoints may be larger as they include CNN weights.
