A sort-of similarity search, added to Flickr
15 Wednesday Mar 2017
Posted in Spotted in the news
Similarity search has been added to Flickr:
1. Make an initial keyword search inside Flickr.
2. Select a photo thumbnail, hover your mouse over it.
3. A three-dot bar will fade up in the top-right corner.
4. Click once on the three-dots and select Search for similar photos.
My test with a ginger kitten on a green background suggests that only basic parameters are being searched for. In this case “cat face with ginger fur”, rather than “cat face with ginger fur” + a green background. Nor is the search able to distinguish between grown cats and kittens, which suggests no keywords are being added to the mix.
“Enter, accompanied by a flourish…”

J-Stage has been restored to the world’s stage, and the indexing URL has been restored to JURN. However it looks like Google Search has completely de-indexed J-Stage at the article level, because of their extended 404. Thus JURN results for their articles will only appear after the Google Search bot re-indexes them.

J-Stage still down, removed from JURN

Japan’s central ejournals aggregation and hosting website J-Stage is still down, after about five days now. Hopefully it’s not been badly hacked and can come back online soon. I’ve removed the J-Stage indexing URL from JURN until it returns, rather than send users to warning pages.

The open source monthly Web crawl Common Crawl now “contains 3.08 billion+ web pages” and 250TB of uncompressed data. Back in September 2015, when this blog last took a look at Common Crawl, that was 145TB.
