Large-scale benchmark datasets are crucial in advancing research within the computer science communities. They enable the development of more sophisticated AI models and serve as "golden" benchmarks for evaluating their performance. Thus, ensuring the quality of these datasets is of utmost importance for academic research and the progress of AI systems. For the emerging vision-language tasks, some datasets have been created and frequently used, such as Flickr30k, COCO, and NoCaps, which typically contain a large number of images paired with their ground-truth textual descriptions. In this paper, an automatic method is proposed to assess the quality of large-scale benchmark datasets designed for vision-language tasks. In particular, a new cross-modal matching model is developed, which is capable of automatically scoring the textual descriptions of visual images. Subsequently, this model is employed to evaluate the quality of vision-language datasets by automatically assigning a score to each 'ground-truth' description for every image picture. With a good agreement between manual and automated scoring results on the datasets, our findings reveal significant disparities in the quality of the ground-truth descriptions included in the benchmark datasets. Even more surprising, it is evident that a small portion of the descriptions are unsuitable for serving as reliable ground-truth references. These discoveries emphasize the need for careful utilization of these publicly accessible benchmark databases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Automated generation of image captions is a demanding AI crisis as it necessitates the exploitation of numerous methods from diverse computer science fields. Deep learning (DL) approaches have revealed marvelous results in a lot of diverse appliances. On the other hand, data augmentation in DL that imitates the quantity and the variety of training data without the need of gathering additional data is a hopeful area in machine learning (ML). Producing textual descriptions for a specified image is a demanding task using the computer. This survey makes a critical analysis of about 65 papers regarding image captioning. More particularly, varied performance measures that are contributed in diverse articles are analyzed. In addition, a comprehensive study is made regarding the maximal performances and varied features deployed in each work. Moreover, chronological analysis and dataset analysis are done and finally, the survey extends with the determination of varied research challenges, which might be productive for the analysts to endorse enhanced upcoming works on image captioning.

Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) coding technology is a new research field developed by the combination of computer science and molecular biology, that has been gradually applied in the field of image encryption in recent years. Furthermore, sensitivity to initial conditions, pseudo-random properties, and state ergodicity of coupled chaotic maps can help produce good pseudo-random number generators and meet the requirements of an image encryption system well. In this paper, an image encryption algorithm based on high-dimensional coupled chaotic maps and DNA coding is proposed. A pseudo-random sequence is generated by a long short-term memory (LSTM) architecture using the proposed maps and evaluated through a set of statistical tests to show the high performance of the proposed generator. All intensity values of an input image are converted to a binary sequence, which is scrambled globally by the high-dimensional coupled chaotic maps. The DNA operations are performed on the scrambled binary sequences instead of binary operations to increase the algorithm efficiency. Simulation results and performance analyses demonstrate that the proposed encryption scheme is extremely sensitive to small changes in secret keys, provides high security and can resist differential attack.

Low-rank matrix completion, which aims to recover a matrix with many missing values, has attracted much attention in many fields of computer science. A low-rank matrix fitting (LMaFit) method has been proposed for fast matrix completion recently. However, this method cannot converge accurately on matrices of real-world images. For improving the accuracy of LMaFit method, an improved low-rank matrix fitting (ILMF) method based on the weighted L 1 , p norm minimization is proposed in this paper, where the L 1 , p norm is the summation of the p -power (0 < p < 2) of L 1 norms of rows in a matrix. In the proposed method, i.e. the ILMF method, the incomplete matrix that may be corrupted by noises is decomposed into the summation of a low-rank matrix and a noise matrix at first. Then, a weighted L 1 , p norm minimization problem is solved by using an alternating direction method for improving the accuracy of matrix completion. Experimental results on real-world images show that the ILMF method has much better performances in terms of both the convergence accuracy and convergence speed than the compared methods.
