Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for evaluating image similarity. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, by a data processing apparatus, image search data for different search sessions, a search session being a pre-specified period, the image search data for a search session including: search query data specifying search queries that were received during the search session; responsive image data specifying images that were identified in response to the search queries; and interaction data specifying images referenced by search results with which a user interacted. Sets of learning images are identified based on the image search data. The sets of learning images include co-selected images for the search sessions. A query-dependent image profile for a particular image is determined based in part on the co-selected images that were identified in response to the particular query.
