The Smart Image Sorter is a free-to-access tool that uses zero-shot models, and requires no coding know-how. https://colab.research.google.com/github/bellingcat/smart-image-sorter/blob/main/interface.ipynb

AI image classification models traditionally require training with specific labels linked to images. Users are limited to the categories predefined by the labels, restricting the model’s ability to identify anything outside of them.

Zero-shot models however are trained on a diverse array of data and have a broad understanding of language and images, making it possible to classify images that were never included in their training.

AI image classification has proven useful for investigations; one example use case would be if you have scraped data from a social media site and need to extract relevant imagery from a mixed collection of memes and other unrelated material.

Automatic image classification should not be used in isolation. We’d encourage you to inspect the results to correct any misclassifications. Text in images and the need for specialist contextual knowledge for identification are some features that may cause issues for the model.

As the Smart Image Sorter tool is open source, you can help us improve it. Report bugs, suggest new features, and help to build better documentation, improved software and a more accessible user interface. You can do this all on our GitHub: https://github.com/bellingcat/smart-image-sorter

Very nice! I believe there is more to it, I have code available (for my students) to find similar images using CLIP. Would make nice addition to this.
