Example embodiments that analyze images to characterize aspects of the images rely on a same neural network to characterize multiple aspects in parallel. Because additional neural networks are not required for additional aspects, such an approach scales with increased aspects.

Parallel prediction of multiple image aspects

Various embodiments use a neural network to analyze images for aspects that characterize the images, to present locations of those aspects on the images, and, additionally, to permit a user to interact with those locations on the images. For example, a user may interact with a visual cue over one of those locations to modify, refine, or filter the results of a visual search, performed on a publication corpus, that uses an input image (e.g., one captured using a mobile device) as a search query.
