9. A method performed by hardware processing circuitry, comprising:
selecting a first listing in a first language from a first plurality of listings in the first language and a second listing in a second language from a second plurality of listings in the second language;
providing, as input to a neural network model, a first image portion of the first listing and a second image portion of the second listing to generate a first similarity score;
translating, based on the first similarity score satisfying a first threshold, a first text portion of the first listing to the second language;
determining a second similarity score of the translated first text portion and a second text portion of the second listing; and
storing, based on the second similarity score satisfying a second threshold, an association between the first listing and the second listing in a data store.
