Abstract

See full text

Approaches include using a machine learning-based approach to generating search strings and refinements based on a specific item represented in an image. For example, a classifier that is trained on descriptions of images can be provided. An image that includes a representation of an item of interest is obtained. The image is analyzed using the classifier algorithm to determine a first term representing a visual characteristic of the image. Then, the image is analyzed again to determine a second term representing another visual characteristic of the image based at least in part on the first term. Additional terms can be determined to generate a description of the image, including characteristics of the item of interest. Based on the determined characteristics of the item of interest, a search query and one or more refinements can be generated.
