Researchers teach computers how to name images by 'thinking'
1-Nov-2006
Penn State researchers have "taught" computers how to interpret images using a vocabulary of
up to 330 English words, so that a computer can describe a photograph of two polo players, for
instance, as "sport," "people," "horse," "polo."
The new system, which can automatically annotate entire online collections of photographs
as they are uploaded, means significant time-savings for the millions of Internet users who
now manually tag or identify their images. It also facilitates retrieval of images through the
use of search terms, said James Wang, associate professor in the Penn State College of
Information Sciences and Technology, and one of the technology's two inventors.

A demonstration of the ALIPR system can be found at www.alipr.com.
Take the picture on the following site: www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/corot/
and show it to alipr. He will recognize the characteristics.
