Claim 0:
1. A computing system for cataloging and retrieving user-generated data associated with objects, the computing system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more non-transitory computer-readable media that collectively store instruction that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving a dataset that comprises a plurality of images captured by the user that depict the object;
processing, using an artificial neural network, the dataset to generate an embedding associated with the object, wherein processing the dataset comprises:
respectively processing, using the artificial neural network, the plurality of images to respectively generate a plurality of embeddings for the object; and
aggregating the plurality of embeddings to generate the embedding associated with the object;

accessing one or more libraries of a plurality of libraries of user-generated content, wherein each of the plurality of libraries comprises one or more cataloged embeddings respectively associated with one or more cataloged objects, wherein each cataloged embedding has been generated from one or more images of the associated cataloged object captured by one or more other users, wherein one or more items of user-generated content are associated with each cataloged object, and wherein the one or more libraries are a subset of the plurality of libraries;
identifying, based at least in part on a comparison of the embedding with one or more cataloged embeddings included in the one or more libraries, a closest cataloged embedding of the one or more cataloged embeddings included in the one or more libraries; and
providing, for presentation to the user, at least one item of user-generated content that is associated with the closest cataloged embedding of the one or more cataloged embeddings included in the one or more libraries.
