In this work, we present an unsupervised method for enhancing an image captioning model (in our case, BLIP2) using reinforcement learning and vision-language models like CLIP and BLIP2-ITM as reward models. The RL-tuned model is able to generate longer and more comprehensive descriptions. Our model reaches impressive 0.90 R@1 CLIP Recall score on MS-COCO Carpathy Test Split. Weights are available at
