• Framing Image Description as a Ranking Task: Data, Models and Evaluation Metrics (2013, methodology): “To combine these 15 rankings, we use Borda counts (van Erp & Schomaker, 2000), a simple, deterministic method for rank aggregation: with N items to be ranked, each system assigns a score of N − r to the item it ranks in position r = 0...”
