Visual Turing test for computer vision systems

Abstract

In computer vision, as in other fields of artificial intelligence, the methods of evaluation largely define the scientific effort. Most current evaluations measure detection accuracy, emphasizing the classification of regions according to objects from a predefined library. But detection is not the same as understanding. We present here a different evaluation system, in which a query engine prepares a written test (“visual Turing test”) that uses binary questions to probe a system’s ability to identify attributes and relationships in addition to recognizing objects.
