Multi-modal application: Image Memes Generation (2112.01651v1)

Abstract: Meme is an interesting word. Internet memes offer unique insights into the changes in our perception of the world, the media and our own lives. If you surf the Internet for long enough, you will see it somewhere on the Internet. With the rise of social media platforms and convenient image dissemination, Image Meme has gained fame. Image memes have become a kind of pop culture and they play an important role in communication over social media, blogs, and open messages. With the development of artificial intelligence and the widespread use of deep learning, NLP and Computer Vision (CV) can also be used to solve more problems in life, including meme generation. An Internet meme commonly takes the form of an image and is created by combining a meme template (image) and a caption (natural language sentence). In our project, we propose an end-to-end encoder-decoder architecture meme generator. For a given input sentence, we use the Meme template selection model to determine the emotion it expresses and select the image template. Then generate captions and memes through to the meme caption generator. Code and models are available at github
