Scientists Use Google Widget to Improve Image Labeling on Wired Science

The article (linked above) is quite an interesting read.  I found it interesting when I read the words “cataloging” and “metadata” — in Wired Magazine, of all places!

The system developed by scientists at UC San Diego sounds practical and promising but…The reality is that this system, billed as “adding ‘common sense’” to automated, computer-driven cataloging of image files, provides only a marginal improvement in the level of accuracy for choosing the right labels (a.k.a. subjects).
