Originally created by @DdHms on GitHub (Jan 7, 2021).

Hi, Love the project and I think that one thing that could be very helpful would be to support word2vec for labels and insted of searching for the exact occurrence of a label allowing similar words to be searched. For example if a photo was tagged as elephant it should also be found when searching animal.
This could later be improved using a hierarchical to search through a dendrogram as in here

We already have categories for labels. If you search for animal the result shows photos labeled as cat, dog, elephant etc.
But for sure, later we can add more advanced logic :)

It doesn't seem to work here I have an image of an elephant made sure there was an elephant label, then searched for animal and did not find a thing

It works fine here. Searched for elephant and animal, both showed the same elephant pictures.

word2vec is a great idea since it allows not only to do those categorization automatically but it also (and it's a far better reason to use it) allows a kind of translation of categories since they are english words only.
