Claim 0:
1. A method for image searching, the method comprising:
decomposing, by a first neural network (NN), a source image into an image content feature vector and an image style feature vector, wherein style is descriptive of content;
decomposing, by a second NN, a text query into a text content feature vector and a text style feature vector, wherein the text query defines a target image attribute;
composing, by a first combiner, a global style feature vector based on the text style feature vector and the image style feature vector;
composing, by a second combiner, a global content feature vector based on the text content feature vector and the image content feature vector;
calculating a residual offset between the global content feature vector and the global style feature vector;
normalizing the residual offset to produce a target composite feature vector; and
identifying, by a selection module, a target image that relates to the target composite feature vector so that the target image relates to the target image attribute, wherein style features of the image style feature vector that are unchanged by the text query are preserved in the target image.
