I forwarded this separately to internally at WMF a few days ago. Clearly –
before thinking of building workflows for human contributors to generate
captions or rich descriptors of media files in Commons – we should look at
what's available in terms of off-the-shelf machine learning services and
libraries.
#1 rule of sane citizen science/crowdsourcing projects: don't ask humans to
perform tedious tasks machines are pretty good at, get humans to curate
inputs and outputs of machines instead.

Perhaps of interest: "...We’re making the latest

captioning system available as an open source model in TensorFlow."
