Search images with image featurization and pre-trained deep learning models.
The provided R script performs an image to image search.
The solution makes use of Microsoft R Server (version 9.1.0) and MicrosoftML library. However, for development purpose the free Microsoft R Client is sufficient enough.
Instructions how to install Microsoft R Client can be found for different platforms at:
