VISUAL CATEGORY REPRESENTATION WITH DIVERSE RANKING

摘要

Embodiments described herein provide images representing a set of search results based on diversity between results of the search query. Images associated with a set of visually diverse items can be provided to provide a sample of items matching the search query across multiple types of categories. For example, search results can be grouped into types of categories and images from each of the types of categories can be grouped into subsets of visually related images (across one or more different visual attributes). A set of diverse representative images can be selected by taking at least one image from each of the groups of visually related images. The set of representative and diverse images can be displayed to provide an interesting, visually diverse, and aesthetically pleasing set of images to a user.
