Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 8:
9. A system for classifying an image amongst predefined image categories, the system comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory storage medium operatively connected to the processor, the non-transitory storage medium comprising computer-readable instructions, the non-transitory storage medium comprising:
predefined vector representations of the predefined image categories,

the processor, upon executing the computer-readable instructions, being configured for:
receiving an image to be classified;
generating a vector representation of the image to be classified using an image embedding method;
comparing the vector representation of the image to predefined vector representations of the predefined image categories;

identifying a relevant category amongst the predefined image categories based on the comparison, the relevant category being associated with the image to be classified and outputting the relevant category; and
wherein for each one of the predefined image categories, the predefined vector representation is generated using:
receiving at least one reference image associated with the predefined image category;

generating a first vector representation of the at least one reference image;
receiving semantic information about the predefined image category;

generating a second vector representation of the semantic information using a word embedding method; and
combining the first vector representation and the second vector representation to obtain the predefined vector representation.
