Purpose

StyleSquirrel is designed for style exploration, not artist identification.
It may not report the image's artist, even when that artist exists in the dataset.
Use it to explore images with similar colors, structures, textures, and visual motifs, not as an attribution tool.

Instructions

• Drop an image in the box on the left.
• The Style Tags panel reports tags that are stylistically similar to the query image.
• The Nearest Neighbors panel shows e621 images that are stylistically similar to the query image.

Notes

• Links go to e621.net and may not be safe for work.
• I tried to isolate style from topic and was only partly successful, so many reported tags/images might be topically rather than stylistically similar.
• The similarity metric is currently a bit naive, causing irregularities like simple_background being over-reported.
• This tool has a very small training set and does not work well as a style classifier.
