Abstract
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.
