Automatic image captioning, the process cif producing a description for an image, is a very challenging problem which has only recently received interest from the computer vision and natural language processing communities. In this study, we present a novel data-driven image captioning strategy, which, for a given image, finds the most visually similar image in a large dataset of image-caption pairs and transfers its caption as the description of the input image. Our novelty lies in employing a recently' proposed high-level global image representation, named the meta-class descriptor, to better capture the semantic content of the input image for use in the retrieval process. Our experiments show that as compared to the baseline Im2Text model, our meta-class guided approach produces more accurate descriptions.
