Abstract
Systems and methods for identifying relevant content within a corpus of visual content items in response to a user's text-based query are presented. In response to a text-based query, the query is mapped to a most-engaged content item of the corpus of visual content items included in responses to the query from a plurality of users. At least one text-based term associated with the most-engaged content item is identified and combined with the query from an expanded query. The expanded query is mapped to an interest node of an interest taxonomy and content items associated with the mapped interest node are identified. At least some of the content items associated with the mapped interest node are selected and returned as response content to the received query.
