The method additionally includes: (i) generating a first representation of the first image based on the likelihoods and one or more term vectors for high-scoring concepts and (ii) receiving second representations of each candidate based on the retrieved textual reviews and stored images. In accordance with determining that the first representation is most similar to a respective second representation of a first candidate, the method includes: (i) associating the first image with the first candidate and (ii) providing an indication of the association.
