Claim 0:
1. A method for image searching, comprising:
receiving a user input for a reference image, wherein the user input comprises a critique of the reference image, and wherein the critique comprises a natural language statement expressing a negative opinion relating to the reference image;
modifying the user input by generating a preference statement based on the critique using a machine learning language model, wherein the preference statement comprises a natural language statement of a positive preference corresponding to the reference image, and wherein the positive preference is an inversion of the negative opinion;
encoding, using a multi-modal encoder, the preference statement in a multi-modal embedding space to obtain an encoded preference statement;
combining the encoded preference statement with an encoded reference image representing the reference image in the multi-modal embedding space to obtain a multi-modal search encoding; and
performing a search operation using the multi-modal search encoding to retrieve a two-dimensional image, wherein the two-dimensional image differs from the reference image based on the user input for the reference image.
