| Challenge: | Existing image description systems are trained mainly on natural images, whereas icon images are drawings. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a dataset to generate both visual and functional icon descriptions based on the icon image and its context information in the car manual. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model performs well on the dashboard icon description task while the third model perform poorly. |
