Abstract

Techniques for building a backward compatible and backfill-free image search system are described. According to some embodiments, a backwards compatible training system trains a new embedding model to be backward compatible with the face embeddings (e.g., floating-point vectors) generated by a previous embedding model. In one embodiment, backwards compatible training uses a classifier of the previous embedding model as a form of constraint in the training of the new embedding model.
