Abstract

Neural network image curation techniques are described. In one or more implementations, curation is controlled of images that represent a repository of images. A plurality of images of the repository are curated by one or more computing devices to select representative images of the repository. The curation includes calculating a score based on image and face aesthetics, jointly, for each of the plurality of images through processing by a neural network, ranking the plurality of images based on respective said scores, and selecting one or more of the plurality of images as one of the representative images of the repository based on the ranking and a determination that the one or more said images are not visually similar to images that have already been selected as one of the representative images of the repository.
