UTILIZING NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING AND MULTIPLE OBJECT DETECTION MODELS TO AUTOMATICALLY SELECT OBJECTS IN IMAGES

The present disclosure relates to an object selection system that automatically detects and selects objects in a digital image based on natural language-based inputs. For instance, the object selection system can utilize natural language processing tools to detect objects and their corresponding relationships within natural language object selection queries. For example, the object selection system can determine alternative object terms for unrecognized objects in a natural language object selection query. As another example, the object selection system can determine multiple types of relationships between objects in a natural language object selection query and utilize different object relationship models to select the requested query object.
