Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for identifying objects in images. One of the methods includes obtaining data identifying a plurality of object categories; obtaining relationship data for the plurality of object categories; determining a plurality of valid assignments from the relationship data; obtaining, for an image, a respective raw image score for each of the object categories, wherein the raw image score for each of the object categories represents an estimate of a likelihood that the image includes an image of an object that belongs to the object category; and generating a respective final score for each of the object categories from the raw image scores using the valid assignments, wherein the final score for each of the object categories represents the likelihood that the image includes an image of an object that belongs to the object category.
