Abstract

A computer-implemented method for determining image similarity includes determining, by a first neural network, a first feature value associated with a first characteristic of a first product based on an image of the first product. The method also includes determining, by a second neural network, a second feature value associated with a second characteristic of the first product based on the image of the first product. The method further involves calculating a first vector space distance between the first feature value and a third feature value associated with the first characteristic of a second product, and calculating a second vector space distance between the second feature value and a fourth feature value associated with the second characteristic of the second product. Additionally, the method includes determining a similarity value based on the first vector space distance and the second vector space distance.
