text: In this paper, we propose the task of live comment generation. Live comments are a new form of comments on videos, which can be regarded as a mixture of comments and chats. A high-quality live comment should be not only relevant to the video, but also interactive with other users. In this work, we first construct a new dataset for live comment generation. Then, we propose a novel end-to-end model to generate the human-like live comments by referring to the video and the other users' comments. Finally, we evaluate our model on the constructed dataset. Experimental results show that our method can significantly outperform the baselines.
  @cite_2: The encode-decoder framework has shown recent success in image captioning. Visual attention, which is good at detailedness, and semantic attention, which is good at comprehensiveness, have been separately proposed to ground the caption on the image. In this paper, we propose the Stepwise Image-Topic Merging Network (simNet) that makes use of the two kinds of attention at the same time. At each time step when generating the caption, the decoder adaptively merges the attentive information in the extracted topics and the image according to the generated context, so that the visual information and the semantic information can be effectively combined. The proposed approach is evaluated on two benchmark datasets and reaches the state-of-the-art performances.(The code is available at this https URL)
summary: One task that is similar to live comment generation is image caption generation, which is an area that has been studied for a long time. tried to generate descriptions of an image by retrieving from a big sentence pool. proposed to generate descriptions based on the parsing result of the image with a simple language model. These systems are often applied in a pipeline fashion, and the generated description is not creative. More recent work is to use stepwise merging network to improve the performance @cite_2 .
