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

Unsupervised Data Augmentation for Consistency Training
TL;DR: A new perspective on how to effectively noise unlabeled examples is presented and it is argued that the quality of noising, specifically those produced by advanced data augmentation methods, plays a crucial role in semi-supervised learning.

Deep Neural Networks for Object Detection
TL;DR: This paper presents a simple and yet powerful formulation of object detection as a regression problem to object bounding box masks, and defines a multi-scale inference procedure which is able to produce high-resolution object detections at a low cost by a few network applications.

Intriguing properties of neural networks

TL;DR: This article showed that deep neural networks learn input-output mappings that are fairly discontinuous to a significant extend, which suggests that it is the space, rather than individual units, that contains of the semantic information in the high layers of neural networks.

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.

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.

Scalable Recognition with a Vocabulary Tree

TL;DR: A recognition scheme that scales efficiently to a large number of objects and allows a larger and more discriminatory vocabulary to be used efficiently is presented, which it is shown experimentally leads to a dramatic improvement in retrieval quality.
