Thanks for your comments.
We try to respect the uncertainty in the calculation of preferences. For instance, if you click a blue Elvis poster, we don't know if it because you like blue or Elvis, hence we end up showing some items that may be far from what you are looking for.
That being said, there is without doubt room for improvement and we got a lot of data to help with that today. In the Bayesian lingo, this is all about fine-tuning the priors.
One of this things we are excited about is the use case where the user knows what they want, but don't know the word for it. For instance it may turn out that I may like Expressionism (this is in fact true) but I don't know the word for that.
If you know that you want an Elvis poster, there isn't much point in using Findmelike right now. I think it would be very cool to have both a text search box where you could enter what you know, and then get the Findmelike visual choice search on the matching items to narrow those down aesthetically.
- iammyIP 12y agoyes, it is also likely that just my personal preferences are somewhat incompatible to this procedure, as i cannot imagine wanting something diffuse i have not even a general description for. The mixture with a text input as basis for a visual choice sounds good. Also it could be nice if the orientation and aspect ratio of the liked images would be taken into account.
