Automating Short Descriptions for Product Photos

Case context: A retail website wants software that can generate a short description for each product photo uploaded by sellers.

Question: Using the end-to-end image captioning idea, what should the neural network receive as input, and what should it produce as output?

Sample answer: The network should take the product photo as its direct input and generate the text description as its direct output.

Key points:

  • Treat the photo as the input x.
  • Treat the description as the output y.
  • Connect the image directly to the text output in an end-to-end design.

Rubric: The learner must identify this as an image-to-text task and state that the photo is the input (x) and the description is the direct output (y).
