Method and system for mining image searches to associate images with concepts
A system and method for associating a document with a concept are provided. One or more idea-electronic document associations is identified, wherein each idea-electronic document association is based on a user performance criteria relative to the electronic document and the idea. At least one of the one or more electronic documents is identified with a concept based on the one or more idea-electronic document associations, wherein the concept is related to the one or more ideas.
1. A method, comprising:
identifying, by one or more processors, a first document containing an image;
processing, by the one or more processors, the image to determine one or more concepts of the image;
determining, by the one or more processors, a set of similar documents based on a comparison of the one or more concepts of the image to stored concepts for a plurality of other documents;
suggesting, by the one or more processors and in a user interface presented at a client device, one or more suggested documents from the set of similar documents;
detecting, by the one or more processors, interaction with a reference to a given document from the one or more suggested documents; and
distributing, by the one or more processors, the first document to a client device that subsequently presents the given document based on the interaction with the given document.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the first document comprises receiving, through a graphical user interface, user input specifying the first document.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
receiving a user-specified criterion, wherein determining the set of similar documents comprises determining the set of similar documents based at least in part on the user-specified criterion.
4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
accepting search queries from users; and
determining, based on user interactions with documents presented responsive to the search queries, a set of concepts relevant to the documents, wherein:
determining a set of similar documents comprises determining the set of similar documents based on a match between the set of concepts and the one or more concepts of the image.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
storing interaction data based on a number of user interactions with the image;
modifying criteria used to distribute the image; and
updating the interaction data based on a number of user interaction with the image following the modification of the interaction data.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein distributing the first document comprises distributing the first document to the client device that subsequently presents a web page having a specified concept that matches the one or more concepts of the image.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein distributing the first document to the client device that subsequently presents the web page having a specified concept that matches the one or more concepts of the image comprises distributing the first document with a search results page presented responsive to a search query that matches the one or more concepts of the image.
8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
identifying a first document containing an image;
processing the image to determine one or more concepts of the image;
determining a set of similar documents based on a comparison of the one or more concepts of the image to stored concepts for a plurality of other documents;
suggesting, in a user interface presented at a client device, one or more suggested documents from the set of similar documents;
detecting interaction with a reference to a given document from the one or more suggested documents; and
distributing the first document to a client device that subsequently presents the given document based on the interaction with the given document.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein identifying the first document comprises receiving, through a graphical user interface, user input specifying the first document.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to perform operations further comprising:
receiving a user-specified criterion, wherein determining the set of similar documents comprises determining the set of similar documents based at least in part on the user-specified criterion.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to perform operations further comprising:
accepting search queries from users; and
determining, based on user interactions with documents presented responsive to the search queries, a set of concepts relevant to the documents, wherein:
determining a set of similar documents comprises determining the set of similar documents based on a match between the set of concepts and the one or more concepts of the image.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to perform operations further comprising:
storing interaction data based on a number of user interactions with the image;
modifying criteria used to distribute the image; and
updating the interaction data based on a number of user interaction with the image following the modification of the interaction data.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein distributing the first document comprises distributing the first document to the client device that subsequently presents a web page having a specified concept that matches the one or more concepts of the image.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein distributing the first document to the client device that subsequently presents the web page having a specified concept that matches the one or more concepts of the image comprises distributing the first document with a search results page presented responsive to a search query that matches the one or more concepts of the image.
15. A system, comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
identifying a first document containing an image;
processing the image to determine one or more concepts of the image;
determining a set of similar documents based on a comparison of the one or more concepts of the image to stored concepts for a plurality of other documents;
suggesting, in a user interface presented at a client device, one or more suggested documents from the set of similar documents;
detecting interaction with a reference to a given document from the one or more suggested documents; and
distributing the first document to a client device that subsequently presents the given document based on the interaction with the given document.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein identifying the first document comprises receiving, through a graphical user interface, user input specifying the first document.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to perform operations further comprising:
receiving a user-specified criterion, wherein determining the set of similar documents comprises determining the set of similar documents based at least in part on the user-specified criterion.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to perform operations further comprising:
accepting search queries from users; and
determining, based on user interactions with documents presented responsive to the search queries, a set of concepts relevant to the documents, wherein:
determining a set of similar documents comprises determining the set of similar documents based on a match between the set of concepts and the one or more concepts of the image.
19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to perform operations further comprising:
storing interaction data based on a number of user interactions with the image;
modifying criteria used to distribute the image; and
updating the interaction data based on a number of user interaction with the image following the modification of the interaction data.
20. The system of claim 19 , wherein distributing the first document comprises distributing the first document to the client device that subsequently presents a web page having a specified concept that matches the one or more concepts of the image.
