Adobe Cloud is brimming with billions of pieces of rich content and ever growing on daily basis. The kind of content ranges from images, photos, vectors, brushes, videos, composites, text documents, 3D, and anything we could think of. Information retrieval is a critical part of this offering. Creative professionals and novice users alike need quick access to their digital assets, libraries, the variety of creative content, and documents they work with every day, from brushes to colors, images, videos and beyond.

We have built a Search & Discovery Platform that powers multiple Adobe product lines such as Adobe’s Creative Cloud product, Experience Cloud, Document Cloud, and creative marketplace by enabling the world’s best creative tools, leading cloud services for managing creative assets, and the leading marketplace such as Adobe Stock. Search platform deals with billions of assets stored in cloud for variety of use cases ranging from privately accessible assets as in Lightroom, Creative cloud and others, shared assets via collaboration in creative cloud and experience cloud and public discoverable assets as in Adobe Stock Marketplace, Adobe.com, Adobe Learn & Tutorials content. 

Search & Discovery platform deals with multiple modalities and is not limited to keyword search and supports searches based on image similarity, video similarity and combination of text and images and other permutations. We use state of the art machine learnt computer vision approaches to power this and take a look at Adobe Stock image search as an example. Under Discovery Platform we are building a newer platform to provide state of art personalized suggestions in the whole creative process for our end users in multiple Adobe products by combining the richness of assets information and machine learning techniques.
