# Automated Image Caption Generation System for Low-Resource Arabic Language
This repository contains the code for an **Automated Image Caption Generation System** designed for the **low-resource Arabic language**. The system uses **VGG16** for visual feature extraction and **LSTM networks** for sequence generation, producing high-quality captions in Arabic for given images. It addresses the challenge of generating coherent image captions in Arabic, a language with limited NLP resources, by combining computer vision and natural language processing.

## Overview
The **Automated Image Caption Generation System** is a deep learning-based project aimed at generating accurate captions in Arabic for images. The model integrates **VGG16** (a convolutional neural network) for feature extraction and **LSTM** (a recurrent neural network) to generate language-based captions. This project is intended to bridge the gap in low-resource language applications by providing accurate descriptions for images, which can be useful in **assistive technology**, **content creation**, and more.
## Features
- **Arabic Captioning**: Automatically generates captions in Arabic, addressing the challenges of limited resources for Arabic NLP.
- **High Accuracy**: Extensive testing and validation ensure coherent, accurate captions.
- **Flexible and Scalable**: Can be adapted to other low-resource languages or extended for larger datasets.
- **Assistive Applications**: Useful for assistive technologies, content creation, and image-based applications.
## Project Architecture
1. **Image Feature Extraction**: The **VGG16** model is used to extract essential features from input images.
2. **Sequence Generation**: The extracted features are processed by an **LSTM network** to generate descriptive sentences in Arabic.
3. **Captioning Pipeline**: The system tokenizes and preprocesses caption …
