Professor Fei-Fei Li and her research team at Princeton University began mapping out and scraping the web to build ImageNet. Driven by the philosophy that massive data scale was the key to unlocking vision models, they set out to compile a database of millions of human-labeled images organized according to the WordNet lexical hierarchy, establishing the ultimate training ground for deep learning.
