ImageNet is a mapping from tags to images, so removing the tags means removing the images.

An image of a "bad person" wasn't tagged by someone looking at said image and deciding that "bad person" was the best possible description. It was generated by searching Google Images for "bad person" and removing obviously incorrect results (e.g. when there's nobody in the image).

Researchers have been using it to learn the inverse mapping from images to tags with some success, but in its construction the dataset is not naturally suited for that task.



As I understood it, and confirmed by Wikipedia (as much that's worth) images were hand annotated.


Only the second step "removing obviously incorrect results" involved human annotators.
