It is available free of charge for academic research".

The dataset was created by a large number of crowd workers. It allows machine learning models to develop fine-grained understanding of basic actions that occur in the physical world. It is available free of charge for academic research".

    *Speech "Teaches machines to 'see'" by [[https://www.xing.com/profile/Christian_Thurau|Christian Thurau]] on the conference [[http://www.seriousgamesconference.de/|Serious Games Conference]] by [[http://www.nordmedia.de/|nordmedia GmbH]] as part of the fair [[http://www.cebit.de/|CeBIT]] in Hannover, Germany, 2018-06-14.
    *Experts told me: Video platforms are not suitable for image recognition learning.  TwentyBN's technical trick & business model: Inverse labeling of videos. Don´t detect an object in a given video of a video platform, but let the crowd community generate and provide videos with the wanted object.
