Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for guided visual search. A visual search query can be represented as a sketch sequence that includes ordering information of the constituent strokes in the sketch. The visual search query can be encoded into a structural search encoding in a common search space by a structural neural network. Indexed visual search results can be identified in the common search space and clustered in an auxiliary semantic space. Sketch suggestions can be identified from a plurality of indexed sketches in the common search space. A sketch suggestion can be identified for each semantic cluster of visual search results and presented with the cluster to guide a user towards relevant content through an iterative search process. Selecting a sketch suggestion as a target sketch can automatically transform the visual search query to the target sketch via adversarial images.
