Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for classifying images. In one aspect, a method includes receiving training samples for a particular data dimension. Each training sample specifies a training value for the data dimension and a measure of relevance between the training sample and a phrase. A value range is determined for the data dimension. The value range is segmented into two or more segments. A predictive model is trained for each segment. The predictive model for each segment is trained to predict an output based on an input value that is within the segment. A classification sample specifying an input value is received. A classification output is computed based on the input value, the predictive model for the segment in which the input value is included, and the predictive model for an adjacent segment.
