ImageNet is assembled and released

node

Fei-Fei Li's group began building a labelled image collection at a scale nobody had attempted, organised on the WordNet noun hierarchy and annotated largely through crowdsourced work, and released it from 2009. The bet was explicit and contrarian: that recognition was limited by the absence of data rather than by algorithm design. The annual challenge run on a subset of it from 2010 turned that bet into a public scoreboard, which is what allowed the 2012 result to be recognised immediately as a result.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
