Abstract
An electronic device associated with a media-providing service stores, in a vector space, a plurality of respective vector representations for respective media content items. The electronic device receives a user input, including a text string. The electronic device generates, using a neural network, a structured query based on the text string. The electronic device determines, based on the structured query, whether to generate a vector representation of a portion of the text string. When the electronic device determines to generate the vector representation of the portion of the text string, it generates the vector representation of the portion of the text string, wherein the vector representation is embedded in the vector space, and identifies a set of media items using the vector representation of the portion of the text string. And the electronic device provides one or more select media items from the set of media items to a user.
