Abstract

Techniques for sharing item images based on a similarity score are described. For example, a machine receives a description of an item from a user device. The machine accesses an existing image. The existing image is associated with one or more existing descriptions of the item. The machine selects, based on a description selection rule, the one or more existing descriptions corresponding to the existing image for comparison with the description received from the user device. The machine generates a similarity score for the existing image based on the comparison between the description received from the user device and the one or more existing descriptions corresponding to the existing image. The machine causes a display, in a user interface of the user device, of a number of existing images having corresponding similarity scores that exceed a threshold value.
