Image-text matching

Image-Text Matching is a subtask within Cross-Modal Retrieval (CMR) that involves establishing associations between images and corresponding textual descriptions. The goal is to retrieve an image given a textual query or, conversely, retrieve a textual description given an image query. This task is challenging due to the heterogeneity gap between image and text data representations. Image-text matching is used in applications such as content-based image search, visual question answering, and multimodal summarization.
