How do search engines look for images? How do you search if your query is an image? How do you annotate your picture collection automatically? Given the large number of existing image databases available, the ability to search images with particular attributes---such as containing people, vacation spots, or special events---becomes extremely useful. Clearly, simple schemes, such as manually labeling the images with textual tags, are massive and not practical endeavors. On the other hand, there are many annotated databases freely available. Is there a way to leverage statistical techniques to take advantage of both the images and their corresponding annotations? In this talk, we will describe what methods are used commonly for these tasks, what the metrics used to measure performance are, and what the current state of the art is.
