acknowledgments
We would like to thank Antonio Torralba for the gist code
and useful comments and Gabriel Brostow for sharing their
hole-filling software. We also thank Tamara Berg, Alex Berg,
and Rob Fergus for sharing their image downloading scripts.
Finally we are grateful to Flickr for allowing us to download
so many images. This work has been partially supported by
NSF Graduate Research Fellowship to James Hays and by
NSF grants CCF-0541230 and IIS-0546547.

ACM Transactions on
Internet Technology
This quarterly publication encompasses many disciplines
in computing—including computer software engineering,
middleware, database management, security, knowledge discovery and data mining, networking and distributed systems,
communications, and performance and scalability—all under
one roof. TOIT brings a sharper focus on the results and roles
of the individual disciplines and the relationship among
them. Extensive multi-disciplinary coverage is placed on the
new application technologies, social issues, and public policies
shaping Internet development.
