images where a single object is centered with a clean background and a canonical viewpoint [@mezuman2012learning; @berg2009finding; @lin2014microsoft]. But is it just the data? We argue that it is not just the data itself, but also the ability of algorithms to learn from large data sources and generalize. For example, traditional approaches which use hand-crafted features (HOG [@chen2013neil]) and classifiers like support vector machines [@divvala2014learning] have very few parameters (less capacity to memorize) and are therefore unlikely to effectively use large-scale training data. On the other hand, memory based nearest neighbors classifiers can better capture the distribution given a sufficient amount of data, but are less robust to the noise. Fortunately, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) [@krizhevsky2012imagenet] have resurfaced as a powerful tool for learning from large-scale data: when trained with ImageNet [@russakovsky2014imagenet] ($\sim$1M images), it is not only able to achieve state-of-the-art performance for the same image classification task, but the learned representation can be readily applied to other relevant tasks [@girshick2014rich; @zhou2014learning]. Attracted by their amazing capability to harness large-scale data, in this paper, we investigate webly supervised learning for CNNs (See Figure \[fig:teaser\]). Specifically, 1) we present a two-stage webly supervised approach to learning CNNs. First we show
