In their paper about the submission, Baidu themselves weren't claiming anything more than an engineering advance: they built a large supercomputer that could handle more data than previous implementations. Part of the competition involved looking at the answers anyway: someone in the Baidu team simply did it more than they were officially allowed to. Even that makes it sound worse than it was. The cheating by Baidu was nothing sophisticated, more akin to an initial stolen glimpse at the answers, which was followed by more of the same when it went unnoticed. The competition itself is no Turing test, but it is an important challenge, and one of commercial importance to many firms. The Imagenet Challenge is a competition run by a group of American computer scientists which involves recognising and classifying a series of objects in digital images.
