AiSearch: Interactive Multi-Modal Search with VLMs

arXiv:2610.01389

Abstract

Modern retrieval systems must both be automated and interactive, allowing users to search and refine results in real time. We present AiSearch, a flexible multimodal retrieval framework that leverages the zero shot capabilities of Vision Language Models (VLMs) for natural language search over images and videos. AiSearch supports interactive search refinement through user feedback to tailor results to the user's intent, and allows visual benchmarking across multiple VLMs, enabling users to select the most suitable model for their task.
