"a picture of this website"

At least it's more or less consistent ;) great pics

I guess what I learned from this is google image search doesn’t use the same technology as google photos search. Photos is absolutely capable of “dog on a beach at night” and many terrifying things like finding people standing in front of small photographs of helicopters when I search for “helicopters”.

ETA: and the result from google photo search for “boy playing with toy helicopter” are perfect while that search on this new tool produces essentially random images: a lizard, a fishing pole, etc. I’m not sure the art of machine image segmentation and classification has been advanced here.

Thanks for the reply! The search results are a function of the images we have - we've only indexed 2M images so far. Also, the model prefers certain semantic patterns that we haven't automated yet. For example "a boy playing with a toy helicopter" gives more meaningful results. :)

Interesting. There are definitely two things going on here: understanding the photos, and understanding the question. Especially if I search for “ein junge mit einem spielzeughubschrauber” instead :-)

Honestly going up against the huge companies in ML seems like a big challenge.

"dog on the beach at night" is much scarier than "helicoper" when the image itself is relatively small.

I can confirm this works for pornography.

Flutter returns butterflies, flag returns flags and fluttering flag returns some kites.

But it's fast and clean.

Just some feedback: search for “brown eyes baby” returns adults with blue, brown and green eyes.

My search for "endometriosis" was terrible

a green stop sign

Pretty great, thanks, bookmarked!
