Abstract
A system and method are described for enabling end users to create and refine object detection models using natural language and visual inputs. A user provides a prompt describing a target object. This prompt is processed to generate a feature vector representation. One or more images are also processed to detect object regions which are encoded into feature vectors. The prompt vector is compared against the image region vectors to identify relevant matching images. These images are displayed back to the user, along with bounding boxes indicating detected object regions. The prompt can be iteratively refined, allowing users to customize object detectors tailored to their use cases without needing machine learning expertise or model retraining.
