Generating Video Descriptions with Topic Guidance
Table 3. Captioning performance comparison among caption models with topic guidance (using the predicted data-driven topics). The acronyms B, M, R, C denote BLEU@4, METEOR, ROUGE-L and CIDEr respectively.

To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed topic-guided model (TGM), we further compare the TGM with other caption models with topic guidance. It suggests that modifying the weights of the decoder according to the topic distributions can employ the topic guidance more effectively to generate better topic-oriented descriptions.
