Elliot will demonstrate research developed at Oxford that allows a user to retrieve paintings containing an object or theme of their choosing in a dataset of over 200,000 paintings in a matter of seconds. This is based entirely on the visual content of the paintings so no prior annotation is required. Finding such objects is of much benefit to the art history community.
