Are these supposed to be funny? http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~nitish/nips2014demo/results/92679... "a man wielding an electric razor is gleefully shaving away another man ' s hair ." Hilarious! I think they've stumbled on computer-generated comedy. Some funny stuff in there.

That's from the "Nearest Caption in the Training Dataset". Which means it found the most similar image, and that image had that caption.

Looks like they are dyeing cloth to me.

I would really like to know how this works because the captions are... interesting.

OP, could you give us more details about this ?

Not OP, but from the site... http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~nitish/

Nitish Srivastava, co-instructor for CSC 321 : Intro to Neural Networks ( http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~rgrosse/csc321/ ) pretrains a convolutional neural net using image sets ( https://github.com/torontodeeplearning/convnet/tree/master/e... and https://github.com/torontodeeplearning/convnet/tree/master/e... )

also has a demo to upload your own images and get them captioned or classified http://deeplearning.cs.toronto.edu/i2t but seems their servers are getting blasted right now

It must be making some very broad generalisations to come up with the tag 'homosexuals'...
