Pragmatic factors in image description: the case of negations

Emiel van Miltenburg, Roser Morante, Desmond Elliott

Abstract

We provide a qualitative analysis of the descriptions containing negations (no, not, n't, nobody, etc) in the Flickr30K corpus, and a categorization of negation uses. Based on this analysis, we provide a set of requirements that an image description system should have in order to generate negation sentences. As a pilot experiment, we used our categorization to manually annotate sentences containing negations in the Flickr30k corpus, with an agreement score of κ=0.67. With this paper, we hope to open up a broader discussion of subjective language in image descriptions.
