[ml] Google Search by Image

[Mike Williams]

It seems to work with faces too.

I tried a famous face and I got an actual search result.

This might be a weird case since I downloaded the image from google search
results, so it is probably already part of a training set somehow. The real
test would be to have a photo of a famous person that is not already being
indexed by Google.

A picture of myself yielded a selection of portraits of people wearing
similar clothes, so it is noticing faces, but maybe only as a byproduct of
the algorithm?
