You will create realistic evaluation materials for AI systems that work with images. The work combines image sourcing, web research, copyright and provenance checks, image editing, prompt writing, and clear documentation.
- Source high-quality photographs connected to Japan, including landmarks, universities, municipal buildings, products, and domestic film or media.
- Confirm whether each image is original, public domain, copyright-free, or explicitly licensed, and record its provenance and license type.
- Use Google Search, Google Lens, reverse image search, and reliable supporting sources to identify subjects from partial visual clues.
- Crop, occlude, mask, or degrade images to hide identifying details while keeping the remaining visual information realistic.
- Write time-bound prompts in English, one-sentence grading criteria, and solution notes covering the true identity, research process, evidence, and expected result.
