Are these supposed to be funny?

"a man wielding an electric razor is gleefully shaving away another man ' s hair ."

Hilarious!

I think they've stumbled on computer-generated comedy. Some funny stuff in there.

That's from the "Nearest Caption in the Training Dataset". Which means it found the most similar image, and that image had that caption.

No. That is not how it works. Read the papers again.
Houshalter
It very clearly says "Nearest Caption in the Training Dataset". The generated labels are below it.

OP, could you give us more details about this ?

Not OP, but from the site... http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~nitish/

Nitish Srivastava, co-instructor for CSC 321 : Intro to Neural Networks ( http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~rgrosse/csc321/ ) pretrains a convolutional neural net using image sets ( https://github.com/torontodeeplearning/convnet/tree/master/e... and https://github.com/torontodeeplearning/convnet/tree/master/e... )

also has a demo to upload your own images and get them captioned or classified http://deeplearning.cs.toronto.edu/i2t but seems their servers are getting blasted right now

I was going to write a negative post about how singularity is still a long while away based on this caption: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~nitish/nips2014demo/results/84542...

but then I realized that I cant come up with a description of what is going there myself.

Ill get you next time CPU!

Looks like they are dyeing cloth to me.

I would really like to know how this works because the captions are... interesting.

Because you have never experienced what it is happening in the picture?

The singularity is not going to be an AI revolution, it's when we decode the human brain's signals.
