Abstract

Methods, systems and apparatus for refining image relevance models. In general, one aspect includes receiving a trained image relevance model that generates relevance measures of content feature values of images to a query, identifying a first threshold number of common content feature values for the set of training images, the common content feature values being identified as a set of content feature values that are each shared by at least a portion of the training images, identifying a subset of the set of training images having a quantity of the common content feature values greater than a second threshold number of content features values, and generating a re-trained image relevance model based on content feature values of the set of training images, wherein content feature values of the subset of training images are weighted higher than content feature values of the training images not in the subset.
