       | Looks like it's just guessing the object and then finding images
       | tagged with that object. I was hoping for some sort of scene
       | detection to find specific scenes from films.

         | Was hoping for some AI visual processing thing and was doing
         | the mental gymnastics of how to store all that data.

       | idea though

       | First of all, most results are anime. I tried a few easy-to-draw,
       | pretty popular symbols like Harry Potter's forehead scar, The
       | Incredibles logo but got nothing close to them. It's a very cool
       | idea but still needs a lot of work.

       | Nice idea, but I was never able to find the movie I was thinking
       | of. Perhaps I'm too bad drawing.

       | Deadpool in the Flashdance pose. Cool, but still has a ways to
       | go.

       | Are there details on how it works? How is CLIP being used here?

         | The code is available in the repo:
         | https://huggingface.co/spaces/osanseviero/draw_to_search/blo...
         | 
         | It first uses a simple CNN to get one of the 100 classes. It
         | then uses that class to retrieve images using CLIP. The
         | original CLIP Space that helped for inspiration is

           | Oof. That 100 class limit is less practical than just asking
           | the user for arbitrary text input and using CLIP as a zero-
           | shot classifier. You would have gotten better responses if
           | the limitations and motivations were explained on the page.

             | Thanks for the feedback! This was just a demo I shared in
             | Twitter and didn't expect it to be shared so widely by
             | others. We're training a new CNN for more classes and we
             | might switch to another dataset for the image retrieval
             | part. It's really a very small pet project :D

       | From what I gather this does object detection on the picture and
       | then from those detected items compares to movie stills that have
       | been similarly labelled. On paper sounds like it could work but
       | in practice .. results are a bit underwhelming when I tried

       | It doesn't seem to work for me - you draw a shape and then it

       | it returns a completely unrelated image again.

       | Sounds cool though and I'll be excited about the day we progress
