Hello everyone,

We would love to get your feedback on a tool we have been working on:
https://wise.wmcloud.org/

This is a search tool for images and videos on wikimedia. Currently is
searching only on media of the day (approximately 5000 videos). It searches
only the visual content of the file (not on metadata, filename, or
structured data). It also does face detection and recognition.

Please give it a go. Here's some examples:

*Semantic example queries:*
"man at a train station"
"=E0=A4=8F=E0=A4=95 =E0=A4=B5=E0=A5=8D=E0=A4=AF=E0=A4=95=E0=A5=8D=E0=A4=A4=
=E0=A4=BF =E0=A4=B0=E0=A5=87=E0=A4=B2=E0=A4=B5=E0=A5=87 =E0=A4=B8=E0=A5=8D=
=E0=A4=9F=E0=A5=87=E0=A4=B6=E0=A4=A8 =E0=A4=AA=E0=A4=B0" (Hindi)
"horse in an airplane"
"=E0=B0=B5=E0=B0=BF=E0=B0=AE=E0=B0=BE=E0=B0=A8=E0=B0=82=E0=B0=B2=E0=B1=8B =
=E0=B0=97=E0=B1=81=E0=B0=B0=E0=B1=8D=E0=B0=B0=E0=B0=82" (Telugu)
"man with a flower"
"pirate with a pistol"

*Face search (select "Faces"):*

Click the green "Image" button and paste an image URL

Example inputs:
* https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/00/Charlie_Chaplin.jpg
*
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0d/Neil_Armstrong_pose.jpg

[warning: some videos are ogv videos and your brownser may not play them,
so watch them on Commons, i.e., after clicking the search result, scroll
down to the media metadata table, and follow the link to commons]

*Key features include:*

* Semantic search using natural language to find relevant images on Commons
from the visual content only (not the structured data or description, only
the image itself)
* Face search: upload or paste a face image, and the tool will try to
identify and locate that person across images and videos, including
timestamps where they appear
* Audio search: search within audio files to find relevant segments
* Multilingual search: supports queries in multiple languages

We are actively improving the tool and would really appreciate any
feedback, suggestions, or ideas from the community. Here's some more
immediate future plans:

* Search on all wikimedia images (instead of only videos / media of the day=
)
* Show similar images when uploading an image to suggest filenames,
categories, and other relevant metadata
