Abstract
A visual search engine is described herein. The visual search engine is configured to return information to a client computing device based upon a multimodal query received from the client computing device (wherein the multimodal query comprises an image and text). The visual search engine is further configured to interact with a user of the client computing device to disambiguate information retrieval intent of the user.
