Determining and utilizing actual purpose of user-assembled collection of electronic content items

Abstract

Implementations are described for determining, based on a user-assembled collection of electronic content items, at least one actual purpose for the assembled collection. Those implementations are further directed to selecting an additional electronic content item based on the at least one actual purpose being assigned to the additional electronic content item in an electronic database. Those implementations are yet further directed to, responsive to the selecting, causing a suggestion for the additional electronic content item to be rendered at a client device associated with a user account that is assigned to the user-assembled collection.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:
 identifying electronic content items based on the electronic content items having each been assigned to a particular collection of a user account;   generating, for each of the electronic content items, corresponding candidate purposes and corresponding measures for the electronic content item,
 wherein generating the corresponding candidate purposes and the corresponding measures, for each of the electronic content items, is based on processing the electronic content item, and 
 wherein each of the corresponding measures defines a corresponding strength of correlation, of one of the corresponding candidate purposes, to a corresponding one of the electronic content items; 
   determining that a particular candidate purpose, of the corresponding candidate purposes, is an actual purpose for the particular collection, wherein determining that the particular candidate purpose is the actual purpose for the particular collection is based on both:
 (i) a quantity of occurrences of the particular candidate purpose amongst the electronic content items, and 
 (ii) magnitudes of the corresponding measures for the particular candidate purpose; 
   responsive to determining the particular candidate purpose is the actual purpose for the particular collection:
 causing a suggestion to be rendered that includes a title that corresponds to the particular candidate purpose and that includes a selectable confirm option; and 
   responsive to selection of the selectable confirm option during rendering of the suggestion:
 automatically assigning the title to the particular collection.

         6 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein determining, based on the quantity of occurrences of the particular candidate purpose amongst the electronic content items, that the particular candidate purpose is the actual purpose for the particular collection comprises:
 determining that the quantity is greater than an alternate quantity of occurrences of an alternate particular candidate purpose, of the corresponding candidate purposes, amongst the electronic content items.

         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein generating the corresponding candidate purposes and the corresponding measures comprises, for a given image that is one of the electronic content items:
 processing the image, using one or more machine learning models, to determine one or more classifications of one or more objects included in the image; and   determining the corresponding candidate purposes and the corresponding measures, for the given image, based on a database that stores associations of object classifications to candidate purposes and measures.
