The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for searching media content. In some implementation examples, a search system receives an input query, generates a query embedding of the input query, and generates a bias mitigation transformation associated with a sensitive attribute. Based on the query embedding and the bias mitigation transformation, the search system generates a transformed query embedding that suppresses at least a portion of the query embedding related to the sensitive attribute. Using the transformed query embedding, the search system executes a similarity search in a media embedding model to identify one or more media embeddings that are similar to the transformed query embedding and transmits the one or more media embeddings.
