News Image-Text Matching With News Knowledge Graph

Abstract

Image-text matching using the image caption method has made a great progress. However, there are many named entities in news text, and existing approaches are unable to directly generate named entities in the news image caption. It leads to a semantic gap between text and news image caption. Moreover, the existing methods lack the analysis of indirect relations between named entities. Therefore those approaches easily leads to relations error when generating news image caption. To generate the news image caption with named entities by analyzing the indirect relations between named entities. We propose a novel model. In details, we propose the TopNews dataset with related news, which aims to construct the relations between named entities as widely as possible. Then we develop the news knowledge graph by extracting named entities from TopNews dataset. Furthermore, we propose News Knowledge Driven Graph Neural Network (NKD-GNN). We utilize NKD-GNN to analyzing the whole relations of entities in news knowledge graph. In this way, we generate the news image caption with named entities. The results of extensive experiments based on TopNews dataset and common dataset demonstrate that our approach is effective in detecting the consistency of news images and text.
