Hi! Thanks very much for sharing this. I'm just learning about CBIR now for a project and this is one of the most useful resources I've found.

I was hoping you might consider adding an open source license for this. Here's a really awesome guide explaining how this works and why it's important to do so https://opensource.guide/legal Here's a useful excerpt:

Open source is an unusual circumstance, however, because the author expects that others will use, modify, and share the work. But because the legal default is still exclusive copyright, you need a license that explicitly states these permissions.
If you don’t apply an open source license, everybody who contributes to your project also becomes an exclusive copyright holder of their work. That means nobody can use, copy, distribute, or modify their contributions – and that “nobody” includes you.
