The conference has no such tool yet, at least nothing we can use tomorrow but they are able to pretty accurately on what the images are. I am going to try to propose if they would be interested in providing commons with such a service, The website relevant is http://www.imageclef.org/2011/Wikipedia for commons but http://www.imageclef.org/2011/Plants is also interesting (even though it had nothing to do with commons so far. It could ver well be used for commons and wikispecies alike.

Indeed, I was thinking of looking/reviewing the existing 11 million files as well as we currently have far too many images for human-only review IMHO. Is there anything you'd want me to ask at the conference?
Yes, is it free software and is there a way to use Commons the other way round, ie as a tool to build (or improve) such a software, using the already categorised images?
