Abstract

Systems and methods disclosed herein associate images with business venues. An example method includes: receiving a first image and retrieving textual reviews and stored images that are associated with one or more candidate business venues. The method further includes: detecting, using trained visual detectors, a plurality of business-aware concepts in the first image and assessing likelihood that detected business-aware concepts are in the first image. The method additionally includes: (i) generating a first representation of the first image based on the likelihoods and one or more term vectors for high-scoring concepts and (ii) receiving second representations of each candidate based on the retrieved textual reviews and stored images. In accordance with determining that the first representation is most similar to a respective second representation of a first candidate, the method includes: (i) associating the first image with the first candidate and (ii) providing an indication of the association.
