Sounds like that drawing satisfies both criteria. (shrug)

So it's not really "guessing", it's just seeing if my drawing matches a predetermined bank of answers? Makes sense, since one time it asked me to draw a "police car" and before I had even finished drawing the chassis of a normal car it had already guessed "police car" and moved on.
It's probably assigning a number of possibilities with a confidence rating, and as soon as the confidence rating is > than some percentage of what it's asking you to draw, it says it.
I'd say it's "guessing" from a predetermined (rather small) bank of answers, since the same guesses appear over and over again.
it's correct that we have "only" trained it on a couple of hundreds of classes, so it will only guess from that dataset.
