HICO (Humans Interacting with Common Objects)
HICO is a benchmark for recognizing human-object interactions (HOI).
Key features:
- A diverse set of interactions with common object categories
- A list of well-defined, sense-based HOI categories
- An exhaustive labeling of co-occurring interactions with an object category in each image
- The annotation of each HOI instance (i.e. a human and an object bounding box with an interaction class label) in all images

8 shown of 8 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 45. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
