We highlight recent algorithms and results for explainable AI in the context of deep learning for visual search, motivated by a project called Traffickcam.This tool to fight human trafficking is trained for investigatory searches to find the hotel where a trafficking victim was photographed. It&#39;s currently used by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and by law enforcement investigators to characterize the type and extent of trafficking operations. We&#39;ll share and describe the search tool, which is based on Deep Distance Metric Learning.We&#39;ll also share our derivations of new visualization tools inspired by the need to explain to investigators why Deep Distance Metric Learning considers two images to be similar.We&#39;ll also describe quantitative results based in our dataset, Hotels-50K, composed of more than 1 million images from 50,000 hotels worldwide,which we share to encourage additional work in this area.
