Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving, using one or more computing devices, an input image as a search query; determining, using the one or more computing devices, reference images that are identified as matching the input image, each image of the reference images being associated with at least one entity including text information related to that image; selecting, using the one or more computing devices, from among multiple entities that are collectively associated with the reference images, one or more particular entities to associate with the input image; identifying, using the one or more computing devices, a particular entity from amongst the one or more particular entities based on a number of the reference images that are associated with one or more entities that include the text information of the identified particular entity, wherein the text information of the identified particular entity is configured to disambiguate from other different entities that include common text information; and storing, using the one or more computing devices, data that associates the input image with the identified particular entity.
