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

DenseASPP for Semantic Segmentation in Street Scenes
TL;DR: Densely connected Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (DenseASPP) is proposed, which connects a set of atrous convolutional layers in a dense way, such that it generates multi-scale features that not only cover a larger scale range, but also cover that scale range densely, without significantly increasing the model size.

A ConvNet for the 2020s
TL;DR: This work gradually “modernize” a standard ResNet toward the design of a vision Transformer, and discovers several key components that contribute to the performance difference along the way, leading to a family of pure ConvNet models dubbed ConvNeXt.

FBNet: Hardware-Aware Efficient ConvNet Design via Differentiable Neural Architecture Search
Bichen Wu,Kurt Keutzer,Xiaoliang Dai,Peizhao Zhang,Yanghan Wang,Fei Sun,Yiming Wu,Yuandong Tian,Peter Vajda,Yangqing Jia +9 more
TL;DR: This work proposes a differentiable neural architecture search (DNAS) framework that uses gradient-based methods to optimize ConvNet architectures, avoiding enumerating and training individual architectures separately as in previous methods.

Who are the crowdworkers?: shifting demographics in mechanical turk
TL;DR: How the worker population has changed over time is described, shifting from a primarily moderate-income, U.S. based workforce towards an increasingly international group with a significant population of young, well-educated Indian workers.

The One Hundred Layers Tiramisu: Fully Convolutional DenseNets for Semantic Segmentation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors extend DenseNets to semantic segmentation and achieve state-of-the-art results on urban scene benchmark datasets such as CamVid and Gatech, without any further post-processing module nor pretraining.

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.

Scalable Recognition with a Vocabulary Tree
David Nister,Henrik Stewenius +1 more
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.
