Abstract
A system and a method are provided for labeling images and for generating an annotation system. The labeling method includes providing a graphical structure, such as a tree structure, which graphically represents predictive correlations between labels in a set of labels. The predictive correlations can, for example, estimate the likelihood, in a training set, that knowing one label has a given value, another label will have a given value. An image to be labeled is received. Feature-based predictions for values of labels in the set of labels are computed for the image. A value for at least one label for the image from the set of labels is computed based on the feature-based label predictions and inference on the structured prediction model.
