In this paper, we present a simple model that is able to generate descriptive sentences given a sample image. This model has a strong focus on the syntax of the descriptions. We train a purely bilinear model that learns a metric between an image representation (generated from a previously trained Convolutional Neural Network) and phrases that are used to described them. The system is then able to infer phrases from a given image sample. Based on caption syntax statistics, we propose a simple language model that can produce relevant descriptions for a given test image using the phrases inferred. Our approach, which is considerably simpler than state-of-the- art models, achieves comparable results on the recently release Microsoft COCO dataset.}, pdf = {https://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/reports/2015/Lebret_Idiap-RR-22-2015.pdf} }
