Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for analyzing images for generating query responses. One of the methods includes determining, using a textual query, an image category for images responsive to the textual query, and an output type that identifies a type of requested content; selecting, using data that associates a plurality of images with a corresponding category, a subset of the images that each belong to the image category, each image in the plurality of images belonging to one of the two or more categories; analyzing, using the textual query, data for the images in the subset of the images to determine images responsive to the textual query; determining a response to the textual query using the images responsive to the textual query; and providing, using the output type, the response to the textual query for presentation.
