  • Publication number: 20240161347
    Abstract: In implementations of image-based searches for templates, a computing device implements a search system to generate an embedding vector that represents an input digital image using a machine learning model. The search system identifies templates that include a candidate digital image to be replaced by the input digital image based on distances between embedding vector representations of the templates and the embedding vector that represents the input digital image. A template of the templates is determined based on a distance between an embedding vector representation of the candidate digital image included in the template and the embedding vector that represents the input digital image. The search system generates an output digital image for display in a user interface that depicts the template with the candidate digital image replaced by the input digital image.
