摘要： Search queries for images are received from users. An original order of responsive images to the query is determined. Duplicate images and words associated with the duplicate images are identified for each of the responsive images. Common words associated with the duplicate images are identified. The responsive images are annotated with the common words and an annotated order is determined. A re-ranked order is determined based on the original order and the annotated order. Responsive images are presented to the user in the re-ranked order.

摘要： Annotation by search is described. In one aspect, a data store is searched for images that are semantically related to a baseline annotation of a given image and visually similar to the given image. The given image is then annotated with common concepts of annotations associated with at least a subset of the semantically and visually related images.

摘要： Techniques are described for online real time text to image translation suitable for virtually any submitted query. Semantic classes and associated analogous items for each of the semantic classes are determined for the submitted query. One or more requests are formulated that are associated with analogous items. The requests are used to obtain web based images and associated surrounding text. The web based images are used to obtain associated near-duplicate images. The surrounding text of images is analyzed to create high-quality text associated with each semantic class of the submitted query. One or more query dependent classifiers are trained online in real time to remove noisy images. A scoring function is used to score the images. The images with the highest score are returned as a query response.

摘要： Implementations for identifying duplicate images in an image space are described. An image space is partitioned into a plurality of coarse clusters based on signatures of the images within the image space. The signatures are determined from compact descriptors of the images. Refined clusters that include one or more images of an individual coarse cluster are created based on pair-wise comparisons of the compact descriptors of images in the coarse cluster, and the refined clusters are identified as sets of duplicate images. The refined clusters are grown by searching in similar coarse clusters for images to add to the refined clusters.

摘要： Names of entities, such as people, in an image may be identified automatically. Visually similar images of entities are retrieved, including text proximate to the visually similar images. The collected text is mined for names of entities, and the detected names are analyzed. A name may be associated with the entity in the image, based on the analysis.

摘要： In some implementations, a plurality of first questions and corresponding first answers are identified at a community question-answer (CQA) site as a plurality of first question-answer (q-a) pairs. A query thread comprised of a second question and a plurality of candidate second answers is selected for making a determination of answer quality. A set of the first questions that are similar to the second question are identified from the plurality of first questions. First linking features between the identified set of first questions and their corresponding first answers are used for determining an analogy with second linking features between the second question and candidate answers for ranking the candidate answers.

摘要： Many users make use of search engines to locate desired internet content by submitting search queries. For example, a user may search for photos, applications, websites, videos, documents, and/or information regarding people, places, and things. Unfortunately, search engines may provide a plethora of information that a user may be left to sift through to find relevant content. Accordingly, one or more systems and/or techniques for organizing search results are disclosed herein. In particular, user generated content, such as photos, may be retrieved based upon a search query. The user generated content may be grouped into clusters of user generated content having similar features. Search results of the search query may be obtained and organized based upon comparing the search results with the clusters. The organized search results and/or a table of content comprising the clusters may be presented to provide an enhanced user experience.

摘要翻译： 许多用户通过提交搜索查询来利用搜索引擎来定位所需的互联网内容。 例如，用户可以搜索关于人，地点和事物的照片，应用程序，网站，视频，文档和/或信息。 不幸的是，搜索引擎可能会提供用户可能遗漏以查找相关内容的大量信息。 因此，本文公开了用于组织搜索结果的一个或多个系统和/或技术。 特别地，可以基于搜索查询来检索诸如照片的用户生成的内容。 用户生成的内容可以被分组成具有相似特征的用户生成的内容的集群。 可以基于将搜索结果与集群进行比较来获得和组织搜索查询的搜索结果。 可以呈现组织的搜索结果和/或包括聚类的内容表，以提供增强的用户体验。
