Abstract
A search system: acquires a query for searching for a desired item; generates an image using the query and a trained machine learning model; and searches for the item based on the image.
Claims9
A search system comprising:
- at least one memory configured to store computer program code;
- and
- at least one processor configured to operate as instructed by the computer program code, the computer program code including:
- query acquisition code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to acquire query for searching for a desired item;
- image generation code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to generate an image using the query and a trained machine learning model;
- and
- search code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to search for the item based on the image.
