Social engagement based on image resemblance

Abstract:

The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for identifying and providing a user of a networking system with other users of the networking system that have a facial resemblance to the user (e.g., look-alike users). In particular, a facial resemblance system uses an image of a user to identify other users that have a facial resemblance to the user (e.g., look-alike users). The facial resemblance system can present look-alike users to the user based on a resemblance score and/or a commonality score. Further, the facial resemblance system can employ feedback from users to improve the accuracy of the facial resemblance system. Upon receiving one or more look-alike users, the user can then engage (e.g., communicate or socially connect) with one or more of the look-alike users.
