Abstract
A method includes receiving a search query comprising one or more query terms, receiving image relevance models that each generate relevance measures of content feature values of images to a query, each image relevance model being a predictive model that has been trained based on content feature values of a set of training images, and each of the queries being a unique set of one or more query terms received by a search system as a query input, identifying an image relevance model for a different query that has been identified as similar to the received search query, and calculating a fractional adjustment multiplier for search results responsive to the received search query, the fractional adjustment multiplier being based on a relevance measure generated by the identified image relevance model for the different query and based on a degree of similarity between the different query and the received search query.
