Schematic representation of the LadeCA word category formation process. Set of images: basis set used for the creation of classifiers. Initial set: one or more related images specified by the user or suggested by LadeCA based on analysis or clustering of the given set of images (or a preexisting LadeCA word). Step I: from the given set of positive and negative examples that describe a category (or the initial set), LadeCA creates a classifier, which in turn determines images potentially of that category. Step II: LadeCA separates the images generated in step I into those belonging/not belonging to the category, and the user makes corrections if necessary. Step III: if corrections have been made, a further iteration of the word category forming process is conducted
