Abstract
Supervised re-ranking for visual search may include re-ordering images that are returned in response to a text-based image search by exploiting visual information included in the images. In one example, supervised re-ranking for visual search may include receiving a textual query, obtaining an initial ranking result including a plurality of images corresponding to the textual query, and representing the textual query by a visual context of the plurality of images. A query-independent re-ranking model may be trained based on visual re-ranking features of the plurality of images of the textual query in accordance with a supervised training algorithm.
