  <p>I recently listened a podcast in which, a problem is approached similarly. The podcast is about youtube predictions and the result is to provide closest video from the youtube videos ( here the dataset).Below is the podcast.

Body: <p>So as the title states, I have a set of images and I want to process input images and need to select the image that "looks" the most like the input image.</p>
  
  <p>I know I've seen something similar where the code could guess who's face was in a picture, I guess I want something like that but for general images.</p>
  
  <p>Sorry if this is a stupid question, but any suggestions or points at resources would be greatly appreciated.</p>

Title: I need to select the image from a predefined dataset that are the closest to the input, is this possible or do I even need to use ML/AI?
