Visual aesthetics are very personal, often subconscious, and hard to express.  In a world with an overload of photographic content, a lot of time and effort is spent manually curating photographs, and it’s often hard to separate the good images from the visual noise. The question we put forward at EyeEm is: can a machine learn personalized aesthetics embodied in a set of chosen photos, and recreate them in a different set?

Google released a tool for drawing search, which is a nice attempt to get some hype from recent pix2pix architecture demo.

Basically now you can draw a doodle and let Google search for similar pictures.
