This repository contains sample code for A Distributed Representation Based Query Expansion Approach for Image Captioning.

For more details, please visit the project page.

• Python 2.7 (Packages such as numpy, scipy etc)

You can install these packages with pip. To install all dependencies at once, just run the following command.

	pip install -r requirements.txt

• You should download and extract pre-trained visual features to the relevant folders. For example from https://github.com/mjhucla/mRNN-CR

• We provide pre-trained word vectors but you can train your word vectors or use another pre-trained word vectors.

• A sample image captioning task is implemented in demo.py
