I have been using the rom1504 clip retrieval tool[0] up until now, but the Datasette browser[1] seems much better for Stable Diffusion users.

When my prompt isn't working, I often want to check whether the concepts I use are even present in the dataset.

For example, inputting `Jony Ive` returns pictures of Jony Ive in Datasette and pictures of apples and dolls in clip retrieval.

(I know laion 5B is not the same as laion aesthetic 6+, but that's a lesser issue.)

This is due to the aesthetic scoring in the UI. Simply disable it if you want precise results rather than aesthetic ones.

It works for your example

I guess I'll disable it by default since it seems to confuse people

Done https://github.com/rom1504/clip-retrieval/commit/53e3383f58b...

Using clip for searching is better than direct text indexing for a variety of reasons but here for example because it matches better what stable diffusion sees

Still interesting to have a different view over the dataset!

If you want to scale this out, you could use elastic search

I see, thanks! I didn't realize that as I thought I want to keep aesthetic scoring enabled since Stable Diffusion was trained on LAION-Aesthetics.

Also: There is a joke to be made at Jony's expense regarding the need to turn off aesthetic scoring to see his face.
