Abstract
A single latent representation is generated based on multiple images of an item using an iterative process that sequentially updates the latent representation as each image is processed. A first image is encoded and used to initialize a first latent representation. A second image is encoded and a cross-attention operation is performed based on the first latent representation and the representation of the encoded second image. This process is repeated for each subsequent image. Once all images of the item have been processed in this manner, the final latent representation may represent characteristics common to the images of the item while de-prioritizing characteristics not common to the images. The single latent representation may then be used for subsequent image-based search operations.
