This operator generates the caption with [CaMEL](https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.10492) which describes the content of the given image. CaMEL is a novel Transformer-based architecture for image captioning which leverages the interaction of two interconnected language models that learn from each other during the training phase. The interplay between the two language models follows a mean teacher learning paradigm with knowledge distillation. This is an adaptation from [aimagelab/camel](https://github.com/aimagelab/camel).
- [What is a Transformer Model? An Engineer's Guide](https://zilliz.com/glossary/transformer-models): A transformer model is a neural network architecture. It's proficient in converting a particular type of input into a distinct output. Its core strength lies in its ability to handle inputs and outputs of different sequence length. It does this through encoding the input into a matrix with predefined dimensions and then combining that with another attention matrix to decode. This transformation unfolds through a sequence of collaborative layers, which deconstruct words into their corresponding numerical representations.
At its heart, a transformer model is a bridge between disparate linguistic structures, employing sophisticated neural network configurations to decode and manipulate human language input. An example of a transformer model is GPT-3, which ingests human language and generates text output.
