This article is the first survey of biomedical image captioning, discussing datasets, evaluation measures, and state of the art methods. Additionally, we suggest two baselines, a weak and a stronger one; the latter outperforms all current state of the art systems on one of the datasets. %R 10.18653/v1/W19-1803 %U https://aclanthology.org/W19-1803 %U https://doi.org/10.18653/v1/W19-1803 %P 26-36
