The Caltech-UCSD Birds-200-2011 (CUB-200-2011) dataset is the most widely-used dataset for fine-grained visual categorization task. It contains 11,788 images of 200 subcategories belonging to birds, 5,994 for training and 5,794 for testing. Each image has detailed annotations: 1 subcategory label, 15 part locations, 312 binary attributes and 1 bounding box. The textual information comes from Reed et al.. They expand the CUB-200-2011 dataset by collecting fine-grained natural language descriptions. Ten single-sentence descriptions are collected for each image. The natural language descriptions are collected through the Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT) platform, and are required at least 10 words, without any information of subcategories and actions.

Animals with Attributes (AwA) was a dataset for benchmarking transfer-learning algorithms, in particular attribute base classification. It consisted of 30475 images of 50 animals classes with six pre-extracted feature representations for each image. The animals classes are aligned with Osherson's classical class/attribute matrix, thereby providing 85 numeric attribute values for each class. Using the shared attributes, it is possible to transfer information between different classes. The Animals with Attributes dataset was suspended. Its images are not available anymore because of copyright restrictions. A drop-in replacement, Animals with Attributes 2, is available instead.

Animals with Attributes 2 (AwA2) is a dataset for benchmarking transfer-learning algorithms, such as attribute base classification and zero-shot learning. AwA2 is a drop-in replacement of original Animals with Attributes (AwA) dataset, with more images released for each category. Specifically, AwA2 consists of in total 37322 images distributed in 50 animal categories. The AwA2 also provides a category-attribute matrix, which contains an 85-dim attribute vector (e.g., color, stripe, furry, size, and habitat) for each category.
