Visual Classification: Expert Knowledge Guides Machine Learning

Classes or labels are one type of information we can extract from data sets. Classifying and labeling something not only gives us information on what it is but also provides knowledge about how it relates to other things we observe. Humans have evolved to be natural and accurate classifiers, but our ability to categorize objects or create new categories is occasionally limited not by our ability to classify but by our ability to perceive the attributes and patterns needed to form these new classes.
