Sharing item images based on a similarity score

A system comprising:

• a hardware processor;
• a receiving engine configured to receive an item listing for an item from a user device;
• a generating engine executable by the hardware processor and configured to generate a similarity score for an existing image corresponding to one or more existing item listings by comparing the item listing received from the user device with the one or more existing item listings, the similarity score indicating a degree of similarity between the item listing received from the user device and the one or more existing item listings corresponding to the existing image;
• a proposing engine configured to select one or more existing images corresponding to the one or more existing item listings based on the one or more existing images having corresponding similarity scores that exceed a threshold value;
• and
• a presenting engine configured to transmitting a communication to the user device in response to the receiving of the item listing from the user device, the communication including the one or more existing images.

A method comprising:

• receiving an item listing for an item from a user device;
• generating, using a hardware processor, a similarity score for an existing image corresponding to one or more existing item listings by comparing the item listing received from the user device with the one or more existing item listings, the similarity score indicating a degree of similarity between the item listing received from the user device and the one or more existing item listings corresponding to the existing image;
• selecting one or more existing images corresponding to the one or more existing item listings based on the one or more existing images having corresponding similarity scores that exceed a threshold value;
• and
• transmitting a communication to the user device in response to the receiving of the item listing from the user device, the communication including the one or more existing images.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by one or more hardware processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

• receiving an item listing for an item from a user device;
• generating a similarity score for an existing image corresponding to one or more existing item listings by comparing the item listing received from the user device with the one or more existing item listings, the similarity score indicating a degree of similarity between the item listing received from the user device and the one or more existing item listings corresponding to the existing image;
• selecting one or more existing images corresponding to the one or more existing item listings based on the one or more existing images having corresponding similarity scores that exceed a threshold value;
• and
• transmitting a communication to the user device in response to the receiving of the item listing from the user device, the communication including the one or more existing images.
