MIT algorithm finds subtle connections between art pieces – Engadget
A new system developed by MIT researchers called “MosAIc” is finding hard-to-spot similarities between art pieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum. To use MosAIc, the user inputs an image and MosAIc’s algorithm finds similar art p…
A particularly difficult aspect of developing MosAIc was creating an algorithm that could find not only similarities in color or style, but also in meaning and theme, Hamilton said. Researchers examined a deep network of “activations,” or features, for each image in the open access collections of both museums. The distance between the “activations” of the deep network was how researchers judged similarity.
Researchers also used a new image search data structure called a “KNN Tree,” which groups…
