Overview
This Argumentation-enhanced Explainable Image Quality Captioning (Arg-IQC) project is offered at University of Dundee.
Image Quality Captioning (IQC) has many potential applications such as helping mobile phone users to improve the quality of images they take by providing real-time feedback.
Programme Structure
This PhD project has the following objectives:
- Design, specify, and create a new dataset containing arguments captions justifying the overall quality assessment of the image based on specific features.
- Formally define and describe the task of Visual Argument Mining, an argument-based image-to-text task that builds on previous work in this field incorporating argumentative reasoning and explainability.
- Develop a multi-task learning model to predict quality score and generate caption to describe image visual quality.
