Abstract
Methods, systems and computer-readable media for finding similarities between visual objects by evaluating user interactions with a collection of visual objects are provided. Using a neural network, human interactions with a collection of visual objects are evaluated to ascertain relationships or connections between visual objects. The relationship between visual objects indicates that the visual objects are similar. Once relationships between visual objects are identified, a user may select one or more visual objects and receive suggested visual objects that are similar to the one or more visual objects selected by the user.
