A pair of Penn State researchers has developed a statistical approach, called Automatic Linguistic Indexing of Pictures in Real-Time (ALIPR), that one day could make it easier to search the Internet for photographs. The public can participate in improving ALIPR's accuracy by visiting a designated Web site (http://www.alipr.com), uploading photographs, and evaluating whether the keywords that ALIPR uses to describe the photographs are appropriate.
