Position: Engineering Intern (AI/ML)
Duration: 7 Days
Submission: GitHub
Develop an AI/ML-powered image search feature that allows users to upload an image and retrieve visually similar images from a dataset. The solution should leverage machine learning models for feature extraction and similarity matching.
-
Dataset Acquisition
- Download a suitable image dataset from Kaggle (e.g., Fashion-MNIST, CIFAR-10, or any relevant dataset).
- Preprocess the dataset (resize, normalize, augment if needed).
-
Feature Extraction with AI/ML
- Use a pre-trained CNN model (e.g., ResNet, VGG, or MobileNet) to extract image embeddings.
- Implement a feature vector database (can use FAISS, Annoy, or Scikit-learn’s Nearest Neighbors for efficient search).
-
Similarity Search Implementation
- Build a function that takes an input image and returns the top N most similar images from the dataset.
- Use cosine similarity or Euclidean distance for matching.
-
User Interface (Optional but Recommended)
- Develop a simple Flask/FastAPI backend to upload images and display results.
- (Bonus) Create a basic Streamlit/React frontend for interaction.
-
Optimization & Evaluation
- Measure search accuracy (e.g., Precision@K).
- Optimize for speed (reduce search latency).
✅ GitHub Repository with:
- Well-documented code (README.md with setup instructions).
- Jupyter Notebook / Python script for model training & testing.
- Backend API code (if applicable).
- Sample test images & output examples.
- Languages: Python
- Libraries: TensorFlow/PyTorch, OpenCV, Scikit-learn, FAISS/Annoy
- Backend (Optional): Flask/FastAPI
- Version Control: Git/GitHub
✔ Functionality (Does the search work accurately?)
✔ Code Quality (Clean, modular, well-documented)
✔ Performance (Speed vs. accuracy trade-offs)
✔ Innovation (Any extra features like filters, UI improvements)
Submission Deadline: A week from Today.
Feel free to use any libraries or frameworks you find suitable for the image processing and recognition and UI development. The goal is to create a functional and well-documented application that meets the specified requirements.
Good Luck! 🚀 Let’s build something awesome!
