1. Clone the repositories

$ git clone https://github.com/pdollar/coco.git
$ cd coco/PythonAPI/
$ make
$ cd ../../
$ git clone https://github.com/yunjey/pytorch-tutorial.git
$ cd pytorch-tutorial/tutorials/09 - Image Captioning

2. Download the dataset

$ pip install -r requirements
$ chmod +x download.sh
$ ./donwload.sh

3. Preprocessing

$ python build_vocab.py   
$ python resize.py

4. Train the model

$ python train.py    

5. Generate captions

$ python sample.py --image='path_for_image'

Pretrained model

If you do not want to train the model yourself, you can use a pretrained model. I have provided the pretrained model as a zip file. You can download the file here and extract it to ./models/ directory.
