Image Similarity using PyTorch

Auto-encoder based Image-Similarity Engine

Blog Post is here

Dataset is available over Kaggle

Published in Official PyTorch Medium Channel. Thank you PyTorch team !

• Builds a simple Convolutional Auto-encoder based Image similarity engine.
• This solves the problem of finding similar images using unsupervised learning. There are no labels for images.

Tasks that it can do.

• [x] Similar images using Auto-encoders.
• [x] Similar image search from image features.
• [x] Clustering similar images.

Image similarity Outputs

Some sample outputs of recommendations.

More outputs can be found in outputs folder.

Models

• Some models trained using a sample dataset are given in this link.
• It contains encoder, decoder and numpy embeddings generated from auto-enocoders.
• These are obtained by running torch_train.py script.
