Within the area of Natural Language Processing, we were interested in looking at whether it is possible to generate story captions given images of various genres. The system we uses first captions a photo and then generates a story based on that caption. We wanted to see how well the system is able to reflect different genres of text input when given pictures of the same genre. This can be a tool for creating short stories in different genres based on an image, or generating genre-focused captions for things like Instagram photos.
