Context: From Lemon to Tennis Ball

Caption: Looking at the photo above, you see a person on a tennis court, wielding a tennis racket and chasing a ... lemon. Right? Wrong. You don't think it's a lemon. You know it's a tennis ball. Computers with the latest image labeling algorithms don't have the contexual wits to know a lemon is very unlikely in this scene. UCSD computer scientists are looking to change that.
