Architecture for predicting network access probability of data files accessible over a computer network

Methods for predicting network access probability of data files accessible over a computer network are provided. In one aspect, a method includes generating a primary data vector for a media file based on a stored data representation of the file, and providing the data vector for the file to an algorithm that uses past interaction information for at least one other media file from a collection of media files having a degree of similarity with the media file above a threshold similarity value. ...

Data file grouping analysis

Methods for analyzing data files to identify similar files to group for display within a limited visual space of a graphical user interface are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a search query for a collection of media files, and identifying a subset of the media files from the collection that is responsive to the search query. ...

Region-specific image download probability modeling

Methods for prioritizing a set of images identified as responsive to an image search query from a user based on features of the images identified as relevant to a geographic region of the user are provided. In one aspect, the method includes submitting a plurality of images to a computer-operated convolutional neural network that is configured to analyze image pixel data for each of the plurality of images to identify features, in each of the plurality of images, influencing a download probability of the corresponding image in a plurality of geographic regions. ...

Identification of synthetic examples for improving search rankings

Methods, systems, and machine-readable media for identifying synthetic media file examples to train a supervised machine learned ranking algorithm to rank relevance of media files to a search query are provided. In one aspect, a method includes identifying a search query for a search engine for a collection of media files from previously received search queries, and selecting at least one training media file from the collection as a synthetic negative example for the search query. ...
