Hey!

We're embedding images by feeding them through a deep neural net and using the activations of an intermediate layer as an embedding.

You can read https://arxiv.org/abs/1403.6382 to learn more about this technique if you're interested.

Our launch model is trained on ImageNet, which has enough variety that it usually generalizes well even when your dataset is very dissimilar to the input distribution. We're planning to train on a wider variety of image data in the future, but we wanted to get something into people's hands quickly.
