Collective Generation of Natural Image Descriptions
We present a holistic data-driven approach to image description generation, exploiting the vast amount of (noisy) parallel image data and associated natural language descriptions ...

Robust Solutions in Unstable Optimization Problems
We consider constraint optimization problems where costs (or preferences) are all given, but some are tagged as possibly unstable, and provided with a range of alternative values. ...
