Live: ML System-design of an Image Search Engine
Education
Introduction
We are excited to announce our upcoming live session specifically tailored for all enrolled AI students. Join us on Sunday, December 4th, from 10 AM to 12 PM for an interactive discussion on the machine learning system design of an image search engine.
In this session, we will delve into the high-level design required to build an image search engine from the ground up. Our focus will be on creating a text-to-image search engine, akin to the functionality provided by Google image search. Unlike image retrieval systems, where an image serves as the input query, our aim is to develop a system that generates image outputs based on text queries. This topic is not only crucial for platforms like Google but also has significant applications in various domains, including e-commerce and social media.
To get the most out of this discussion, it is essential that participants have a foundational understanding of deep learning, particularly in convolutional neural networks (CNNs), as well as a basic familiarity with LSTMs since text processing will be involved. Knowledge of Transformers is also beneficial but not required.
During the live session, attendees will be expected to engage actively, sharing their ideas and insights. This collaborative approach will enable us to build the image search engine interactively, allowing for a rich discussion on potential solutions, challenges, and strategies to overcome hurdles.
Remember, there are no right or wrong ideas—every contribution is valuable. We will evaluate the feasibility of different concepts and identify potential obstacles in the design process. We look forward to an engaging and informative session, helping you expand your understanding of machine learning system design in the context of image search engines.
See you all on Sunday!
