Abstract
An online system performs an inference task in conjunction with the model serving system and/or interface system to generate relevant product images for query auto-completion and query suggestion to help users better navigate their search experience. The online system generates a collection of query suggestions using search query log mining. For each query suggestion in the collection of query suggestions, the online system retrieves one or more catalog images that depict the query suggestion from a product catalog. The online system constructs a prompt to a text-to-image model including the query suggestion, and a request to generate one or more query images based on the query suggestion. The online system receives the query images from the text-to-image model and ranks the catalog and query images to identify an image to display to the user in association with the query suggestion.
