About awarded research〉
Image captioning consists of a utomaticall y generat ing description from images, which is very important because it has a variety of applications such as helping the visually impaired understand the content of images and indexing images on the Internet. Approaches based on deep learning have shown high performance by effectively utiliz ing information such as colors and shapes in images, and have become a mainstream research field. However, there are problem s: such approaches have difficulty generating verbs. Therefore, in this research, we proposed a method that incorporates information about the estimated motion of objects in an
image. Experiments conducted on several datasets showed the effectiveness of the proposed method and showed improved performance in generating sentences with verbs.

〈Your impression & future plan〉
It is a great honor to be recipient of this award. I am most grateful to my supervisors for giving me a lot of advice on this research. In the future, I will keep working hard.
