Congrats to MAI team on receiving both US and Japan patents on our #visualsearch technology.

Here is the abstract: Methods and systems for training a metric learning convolutional neural network (CNN)-based model for cross-do-main image retrieval are disclosed. The methods and systems perform steps of generating a plurality of batches sampled from a cross-domain training dataset to train the CNN-based model to match images of different sub-categories from one domain to another, and training the CNN based model using the generated batches. The CNN-based model comprises various pooling, normalization, and concatenation layers that enable it to concatenate the normalized outputs of multiple concatenation layers. Use of the generated batches comprises executing a loss function based on one or more batches, where the loss function is a triplet contrastive, or cluster loss function. Embodiments of the present invention enable the CNN-based model to summarize information from multiple convolutional layers, thus improving visual search. Also disclosed are benefits of the new methods, and alternative embodiments of implementation. #technology #ai #machinelearning #artificialintelligence #network #innovation
