Claim Text:
1. A computer comprising: a processor coupled to a computer memory, the computer memory having computer executable instructions encoded thereon, the computer executable instructions when executed by the processor configure the computer to perform operations comprising: identifying an image file on which to base a query; performing decomposition comprising utilizing a probabilistic topic model extrinsic to the image file to obtain a decomposed version of the image file, the decomposed version of the image file comprising: creating a composite representation of the image file, the composite representation comprising: based at least on the vector of low-dimensional representations, determining a topic corresponding to the image file; comparing the vector of the low-dimensional representations corresponding to the image file to vectors of low-dimensional representations corresponding to a plurality of files; and selecting a candidate set of files from the plurality of files based at least on a ranking of closeness of proximity of the vectors of the low-dimensional representations corresponding to the candidate set of files to the vector of the low-dimensional representations corresponding to the image file.
