  We provide a qualitative analysis of the descriptions containing negations
(no, not, n't, nobody, etc) in the Flickr30K corpus, and a categorization of
negation uses. Based on this analysis, we provide a set of requirements that an
image description system should have in order to generate negation sentences.
As a pilot experiment, we used our categorization to manually annotate
sentences containing negations in the Flickr30K corpus, with an agreement score
of K=0.67. With this paper, we hope to open up a broader discussion of
subjective language in image descriptions.
