Sometimes I wonder why is the top-5 image classification task so difficult. If you are giving me 5 chances to look at an image and correctly classify it from ~1000 Imagenet classes, I can surely do better than 5-10% error rate.

Also, now that the top-5 error rate been brought down considerably, what is the next benchmark for the research community to beat? A new dataset, top-1 error rate on Imagenet?

A large majority of human errors come from fine-grained categories(such as correctly identifying two similar cat species) and class unawareness. I would recommend this article by Andrej Karpathy, where he talks about his learning from competing against GoogLeNet: http://karpathy.github.io/2014/09/02/what-i-learned-from-com...

That would be relatively low grade error. Specifically errors have to be valued and not just counted.
