ImageNet

Why It Was Important

Fei-Fei Li recognized that advanced algorithms were useless without massive, labeled datasets to train them. Utilizing Amazon Mechanical Turk, her team labeled over 14 million images across 20,000 categories. The subsequent ImageNet Challenge provided the benchmark that sparked the 2012 deep learning revolution.
