Claim 2:
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the user profile is obtained by:
obtaining a set of user-selected sample images;
determining a similarity metric between each of the sample images and each of the reference images based on feature vectors of the user-selected sample images and the feature vectors of the reference images;
calculating an assignment probability for each category for each of the sample images based on the similarity metrics between the respective sample image and nearest reference images of the respective category, wherein the similarity metric between the respective sample image and a nearest reference image meets a minimum assignment similarity criterion and a maximum assignment similarity criterion; and
determining the user profile by averaging the assignment probabilities for each category over all sample images.
