Input: Image captioning has so far been explored mostly in English, as most available datasets are in this language. However, the application of image captioning should not be restricted by language. Only few studies have been conducted for image captioning in a cross-lingual seing. Dierent from these works that manually build a dataset for a target language, we aim to learn a cross-lingual captioning model fully from machine-translated sentences. To conquer the lack of uency in the translated sentences, we propose in this paper a uency-guided learning framework. e framework comprises a module to automatically estimate the uency of the sentences and another module to utilize the estimated uency scores to eectively train an image captioning model for the target language. As experiments on two bilingual (English-Chinese) datasets show, our approach improves both uency and relevance of the generated captions in Chinese, but without using any manually wrien sentences from the target language.
