Why is it still, now in 2014, so hard to find images?
We have categories and descriptions, but we also know
they don't describe all that we want to find in an
image. If I need an image with a bicycle and some red
flowers, I can only go to the category:bicycles and
hope that I'm lucky when browsing through the first
700 images there. Most likely, the category will be
subdivided by country or in some other useless way
that will make my search harder.
Where is science? Google was created in 1998, based
on its Pagerank algorithm for web pages filled with
words and links. That was 14 years ago. But what
algorithms are there for finding images?
