1. A method, implemented on a machine having at least one processor, storage, and a communication platform for responding to an image related query for an image, comprising:
receiving the image related query with an associated annotation;
establishing, based on the annotation, visual semantics of the image, wherein the visual semantics of the image comprises a hierarchy of abstraction including a first level of abstraction naming a type of the image abstracted based on what are observed in an entire scene of the image and a second level of abstraction with a category name for each group of objects observed in the image, wherein the first level of abstraction does not directly describe any object in the image; and
providing, based on the visual semantics, a response to the image related query.
