Google brings your Google+ photos right into Search, serves results via computer vision and machine learning
Google on Thursday announced a very interesting integration between its main search service and Google+ Photos. The company now lets you find your photos both on Google+ and Google Search just by, well, searching for them.
Assuming you’re signed in, all you have to do is search for “my photos” on google.com or directly on Google+. Yet this goes further than just serving you a list of all your photos; Google says it has now also started using computer vision and machine learning to understand what you’re looking for.
