Categorization is critical to boosting precision in information retrieval tasks. Deep networks for cropped object recognition are an important source of (inferred) content categories (especially when other context, e.g. photo captions, are not useful). While a good image categorizer would be very useful for ad targeting and auctions, the technology can also boost precision for news feed, graph search, etc., which improves user experience.
