Figure 1: Our method takes as input an image and two captions from different sources, and we predict whether the image has been used out of context. Here, both captions align with same object(s) in the image; i.e., Donald Trump and Angela Merkel on the left and President Obama and Dr. Fauci on the right. If the two captions are semantically different from each other (right), we consider them as out of context; otherwise not (left). Our method automatically detects such image use.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
