Modules that consider the correlation among candidate concepts and the To obtain appropriate concepts from the graph, we propose two novel Graph is created for each image sequence from which the concept candidates are To enrich the candidate concepts, a commonsense knowledge Then, we utilize a large scale pre-trained model to convert concepts and images Using a concept selection module that suggests a set of concept candidates. We propose to foster the diversity and informativeness of a generated story by
