Abstract

A server device determines a plurality of images for a query. One or more images, of the plurality of images, are associated with one or more senses of the query. The server device maps the plurality of images into a space by representing the plurality of images with corresponding points in the space; determines one or more hyperplanes in the space based on the corresponding points in the space; calculates one or more scores for the plurality of images based on the corresponding points and the one or more hyperplanes; and ranks the one or more images based on the one or more scores.
