I actually found this product most interesting, perhaps oddly, for voyaging far afield from the fashion preference.

Picture leads to books leads to toys leads to ... a television that emits heat like a fireplace. I actually kind of want a television that emits heat / cold in response to what's on television (the product was just a tv fireplace that made heat).

Notably, like others have pointed out, and the author already addressed, the model definitely starts giving some rather "strange" results when you travel far away from the central training theme. Just click on a kid's hoverboard, and it gives me vacuum cleaners and leaf blowers. Dinosaur toy, and not a dinosaur in the results.

They're still interesting, and the main idea of having a "variety" slider with nearness of similarity was a cool feature for image browsing like most image searches. Be kind of nice if some browser image searches would let you have a "variety" or "nearness" slider when you're just looking at similar images.



The "shop for random products" direction was actually fun for me too. Reminds me of amazon.com/stream a bit.
