1. Visual Genome: Connecting Language and Vision Using Crowdsourced Dense Image Annotations (2016 · 5,876 citations)
   Image models had become good at perception, such as labelling and detecting objects, but remained weak at cognitive tasks like describing scenes or answering questions about them.
2. YFCC100M: The New Data in Multimedia Research (2015 · 1,671 citations)
   Multimedia research has mostly relied on small, single-purpose collections. These often contain only one media type, are seldom shared, and are sometimes gathered without regard to licensing. The result is poor reproducibility and little reuse across projects. The authors address this by releasing YFCC100M (Yahoo…
