Pinterest’s new computer vision-powered body type technology to make search more inclusive

Pinterest today announced it is introducing novel computer vision technology that will use shape, size, and form to identify various body types across the over 5 billion images on its platform with the goal of making its search more inclusive.

The feature will initially roll out to searches for women’s fashion and wedding content before being expanded more broadly.
