# Image Captioning: reading plan
## Overview
This repository contains a working research note about **Image Captioning**. It organizes motivation, related work, a falsifiable hypothesis, and an evaluation plan. It is not presented as a completed paper or a release of trained models.
## Changelog
* 2026-10-07 — initial upload
* 2026-10-21 — config and docs sync
## Scope and limitations
Exploratory by design: no benchmark claims, no completed ablations, no released code, no trained checkpoint. The references are a starting point for verification, not evidence that the study has run.
## Roadmap
Next steps, in no particular order: a cleaner entry point, input-shape docs, and a small evaluation script if time permits.
## Related work
A reading list around Image Captioning is being assembled. Entries will be added as the note matures; suggestions via repository discussions are welcome.
## Open questions
* which baselines are actually comparable under matched capacity?
* what is the minimum data exposure for a meaningful signal?
* which confounders would invalidate a naive comparison?
## What is covered
* the scope of the research question and likely confounders
* a proposed comparison with matched baselines
* concrete evaluation context such as MS COCO Captions, NoCaps, and TextCaps
* reproducibility checks, failure modes, and open questions
* topic-relevant references
## Files
* `summary.md` — primary artifact
* `README.md` — this documentation
* `config.json` — architecture configuration
* `training_args.json` — default experiment settings
* `model.safetensors` — initialization checkpoint
