Fine-Grained Visual Categorization Workshop Organized in conjunction with 2019 Conference of Computer Vision Pattern Recognition In this talk I will briefly address the history of the Met’s collection in digital form and what makes it stand out among other museums’ collections. We’ll explore the quirks in the data, the categorization challenges we face, and propose use cases for which machine learning holds promise for our subject matter experts and online users.
