WordNet • WordNetis a large lexical database of English. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets), each expressing a distinct concept. • WordNet as an ontology
ImageNet • Image database organized according to the WordNethierarchy, in which each node of the hierarchy is depicted by hundreds and thousands of images. • Knowledge ontology: Taxonomy, Partonomy
Collect Candidate Images • For each synset, the queries are the set of WordNetsynonyms • Accuracy of Internet image search results: 10% • For 500-1000 clean images, need 10K images • Query expansion • Synonyms: German shepherd, German police dog, German shepherd dog, Alsatian • Appending words from ancestors: sheepdog, dog • Multiple languages • Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Chinese • More search engines
Clean Candidate Images • Rely on humans to verify each candidate image for a given synset • 19 years’ work • No graduate students would want to do this project • Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT) • 300 images: 0.02 dollar • 14,197,122 images: 946 dollars • 10 repetition: 9460 dollars • July 2008- April 2010: 11 million images, 15,000+ synsets
HIT Design • HIT(Human Intelligence Task) • Application • Qualification Test • Start tasks • Learn about the keyword: Wiki, Google • Definition quiz: choice question about the keyword • Choose images fit the keyword (Yes or No) • Pass cheating detection • Feedback
Quality Control System • Human users make mistakes • Not all users follow the instructions • Users do not always agree with each other • Subtle or confusing synsets, e.g. Burmese cat
Properties of ImageNet • Scale • 14,197,122 images, 21841 synsetsindexed • Hierarchy • densely populated semantic hierarchy
Properties of ImageNet • Accuracy • Diversity
ImageNet Applications • Non-parametric Object Recognition • NN-voting + noisy ImageNet • NN-voting + clean ImageNet • Naive Bayesian Nearest Neighbor (NBNN) • NBNN-100 • Tree Based Image Classification • Automatic Object Localization
Pros and Cons • Pros: • Large dataset as training resource • Benchmarking • Open: Download Original Images, URLs, Features, Object Attributes, API • Cons: • The matching between physical world/ WordNet / ImageNet. • Counterword • Only one tag per image
