Abstract
One or more systems and/or methods for combining vectors output by multiple different mechanisms for content item retrieval are provided. An image encoder may output a first set of vectors generated by an image model using an input image as input. A text encoder may output a second set of vectors generated by a text model using input text as input. A vector combination module may combine the first set of vectors and the second set of vectors to create a vector output. A weight is applied to the vector output to create a weighted output. An output vector is generated based upon a combination of the first set of vectors, the second set of vectors, and the weighted output. The output vector is used to query a catalog to identify a content item related to the input image and the input text.
