Abstract: An object search system generates a hierarchical clustering of objects of a collection based on similarity of the objects. The object search system generates a separate hierarchical clustering of objects for multiple features of the objects. To identify objects similar to a target object, the object search system first generates a feature vector for the target object. For each feature of the feature vector, the object search system uses the hierarchical clustering of objects to identify the cluster of objects that is most “feature similar” to that feature of the target object. The object search system indicates the similarity of each candidate object based on the features for which the candidate object is similar.

Abstract translation: 对象搜索系统基于对象的相似性生成集合的对象的分层聚类。 对象搜索系统为对象的多个特征生成对象的单独层次聚类。 为了识别与目标对象类似的对象，对象搜索系统首先生成目标对象的特征向量。 对于特征向量的每个特征，对象搜索系统使用对象的分层聚类来识别与目标对象的特征最“特征相似”的对象簇。 对象搜索系统基于候选对象相似的特征来指示每个候选对象的相似性。

Abstract: A method and system for determining dominance of the media elements of display pages is provided. The dominance system provides a scoring mechanism for scoring the dominance of media elements of display pages based on features of each media element of the display page. To generate the scores for the media elements of the display page, the dominance system first identifies the media elements and then identifies the features of the media elements. The dominance system then scores the identified media elements using the provided scoring mechanism and the identified features.

Abstract: A method and system for generating a search request from a multimodal query that includes a query image and query text is provided. The multimodal query system identifies images of a collection that are textually related to the query image based on similarity between words associated with each image and the query text. The multimodal query system then selects those images of the identified images that are visually related to the query image. The multimodal query system may formulate a search request based on keywords of web pages that contain the selected images and submit that search request to a search engine service.
