The category selection of ecoset was based on human concreteness ratings and word frequencies in a corpus consisting of American television and film subtitles. This undoubtedly biases the category selection toward Western cultures. Image inclusion was based on the availability via Bing/Flickr search results as well as the existence of relevant ImageNet categories.
