> h2. Background:
> Image captions are a small piece of text, usually of one line, added to the metadata of images to provide a brief summary of the scenery in the image. 
> It is a challenging and interesting problem in the domain of computer vision. Tika already has a support for image recognition via [Object Recognition Parser, TIKA-1993| https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1993] which uses an InceptionV3 model pre-trained on ImageNet dataset using tensorflow. 
> Captioning an image is a very useful feature since it helps text based Information Retrieval(IR) systems to "understand" the scenery in images.
> h2. Technical details and references:
> * Google has long back open sourced their 'show and tell' neural network and its model for autogenerating captions. [Source Code| https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/im2txt], [Research blog| https://research.googleblog.com/2016/09/show-and-tell-image-captioning-open.html]
> * Integrate it the same way as the ObjectRecognitionParser
> ** Create a RESTful API Service [similar to this| https://wiki.apache.org/tika/TikaAndVision#A2._Tensorflow_Using_REST_Server] 
> ** Extend or enhance ObjectRecognitionParser or one of its implementation
> h2. {skills, learning, homework} for GSoC students
> * Knowledge of languages: java AND python, and maven build system
> * RESTful APIs 
> * tensorflow/keras,
> * deeplearning
