At the Bay Area Vision Meeting in 2013 [1], Fei-Fei Li and Olga Russakovsky gave a related talk on, "Analysis of Large-Scale Visual Recognition" [2,3]

Fascinating. Also interesting to see the failure modes. Any human would quickly realize that the "boy doing backflip on wakeboard" is actually playing on a trampoline. Or the "two young girls playing with legos toy". Great stuff!

It would be great to have this for image search!

Yup! That's exactly why there has been so much work on this from the likes of Google. Video and images represent a "dark media" in terms of indexing and search. It is very difficult without robust tagging (which is time intensive or relies on the articles and descriptions that surround the images) to search through images. This technology would make it much easier perform robust querying of this data.

Idk if this is a daft question, but in the Visual-Semantic Alignment section, are those objects in the colored boxes actually being directly recognized by the software? Or are they inputted in some other way?

From the paper: Our core insight is that we can leverage these large image-sentence datasets by treating the sentences as weak labels, in which contiguous segments of words correspond to some particular, but unknown location in the image. Our approach is to infer these alignments and use them to learn a generative model of descriptions.
