Theme recommendation engine

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method and system may include identifying, by a recommendation engine, a first plurality of images in a first theme that includes a first layout characteristic, determining a first plurality of vector representations of the first plurality of images using an image processing model that includes a layered matrix of nodes with weighted interconnections, identifying at least a second plurality of images in a second theme that includes a second layout characteristic that is different from the first layout characteristic, determining a second plurality of vector representations of the second plurality of images, computing a vector difference between the first plurality of vector representations and the second plurality of vector representations; determining and communicating a recommendation based on the computed vector difference, and mapping received feedback to the weightings of the interconnections to improve a future recommendation.
