TLDR
A new database called “ImageNet” is introduced, a large-scale ontology of images built upon the backbone of the WordNet structure, much larger in scale and diversity and much more accurate than the current image datasets.Abstract:
The explosion of image data on the Internet has the potential to foster more sophisticated and robust models and algorithms to index, retrieve, organize and interact with images and multimedia data. But exactly how such data can be harnessed and organized remains a critical problem. We introduce here a new database called “ImageNet”, a large-scale ontology of images built upon the backbone of the WordNet structure. ImageNet aims to populate the majority of the 80,000 synsets of WordNet with an average of 500-1000 clean and full resolution images. This will result in tens of millions of annotated images organized by the semantic hierarchy of WordNet. This paper offers a detailed analysis of ImageNet in its current state: 12 subtrees with 5247 synsets and 3.2 million images in total. We show that ImageNet is much larger in scale and diversity and much more accurate than the current image datasets. Constructing such a large-scale database is a challenging task. We describe the data collection scheme with Amazon Mechanical Turk. Lastly, we illustrate the usefulness of ImageNet through three simple applications in object recognition, image classification and automatic object clustering. We hope that the scale, accuracy, diversity and hierarchical structure of ImageNet can offer unparalleled opportunities to researchers in the computer vision community and beyond.read more

Learning a Deep Convolutional Network for Image Super-Resolution
TL;DR: This work proposes a deep learning method for single image super-resolution (SR) that directly learns an end-to-end mapping between the low/high-resolution images and shows that traditional sparse-coding-based SR methods can also be viewed as a deep convolutional network.

Learning Transferable Architectures for Scalable Image Recognition
TL;DR: NASNet as discussed by the authors proposes to search for an architectural building block on a small dataset and then transfer the block to a larger dataset, which enables transferability and achieves state-of-the-art performance.

How transferable are features in deep neural networks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the transferability of features from the first layer to the last layer of a deep neural network and show that transferability is negatively affected by two distinct issues: (1) the specialization of higher layer neurons to their original task at the expense of performance on the target task and (2) optimization difficulties related to splitting networks between co-adapted neurons.

SQuAD: 100,000+ Questions for Machine Comprehension of Text
TL;DR: The Stanford Question Answering Dataset (SQuAD) as mentioned in this paper is a reading comprehension dataset consisting of 100,000+ questions posed by crowdworkers on a set of Wikipedia articles, where the answer to each question is a segment of text from the corresponding reading passage.

Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints
TL;DR: This paper presents a method for extracting distinctive invariant features from images that can be used to perform reliable matching between different views of an object or scene and can robustly identify objects among clutter and occlusion while achieving near real-time performance.

Labeled Faces in the Wild: A Database forStudying Face Recognition in Unconstrained Environments
TL;DR: The database contains labeled face photographs spanning the range of conditions typically encountered in everyday life, and exhibits “natural” variability in factors such as pose, lighting, race, accessories, occlusions, and background.
Principles of categorization
TL;DR: On those remote pages it is written that animals are divided into those that belong to the Emperor, and those that are trained, suckling pigs and stray dogs.
