An electronic device obtains a plurality of collections of media content items, each collection of media content items being associated with text. Based on how frequently a first media content item co-occurs with a first descriptor in text for respective collections of media items that include the first media content item, the electronic device generates, without user input, a new collection of media content items for a first user. The new collection of media content items corresponds to the first descriptor and includes the first media content item. The electronic device presents the new collection of media content items to the first user as a recommendation.

Systems and methods for determining descriptors for media content items

An electronic device obtains a plurality of collections of media content items, each collection of media content items being associated with text generated by one or more users of the media-providing service. Based on how frequently a first media content item co-occurs with a first descriptor in text for respective collections of media items that include the first media content item, the electronic device generates, without user input, a new collection of media content items for a first user. The new collection of media content items corresponds to the first descriptor and includes the first media content item. The electronic device presents the new collection of media content items to the first user as a recommendation.

An electronic device provides, to a model trained to generate synthetic queries, information corresponding to a first media content item and a first value for a parameter indicative of query specificity. The device receives, from the model trained to generate synthetic queries, a first query corresponding to the first media content item, wherein the first query is generated in accordance with the first value for the parameter indicative of query specificity. The device provides, to a client device for display at the client device, the first query and receives user selection of the first query. In response to the user selection of the first query, the device provides a first result set of media content items for the first query.

Systems and methods for generating synthetic queries

An electronic device obtains a plurality of collections of media content items, each collection of media content items being associated with text generated by one or more users of the media-providing service. The electronic device determines a coincidence metric for a first descriptor and a first media content item, the coincidence metric corresponding to a likelihood that the first descriptor appears in the text associated with a respective collection of media content items that includes the first media content item. Based on the coincidence metric, the electronic device generates a new collection of media content items for a first user. The new collection of media content items corresponds to the first descriptor and includes the first media content item.
