OBJECT RECORD / AIM-DOC-2009-001

ImageNet: A Large-Scale Hierarchical Image Database

A conference paper records a shared visual database built with a WordNet hierarchy, web collection, and human verification.

CURATORIAL READING

Why it is here

Deng and colleagues report 3.2 million images organized across 5,247 WordNet synsets and describe the collection and cleaning workflow, including internet search and human verification. The object makes data organization and label review visible as part of the AI system.

Evidence boundary

The counts are a 2009 snapshot, not the current size of ImageNet. The paper does not show that the database alone caused the 2012 result, and this museum record does not reproduce its images.
