1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
obtaining a plurality of episodes, wherein each episode is associated with a corresponding time period, and includes a respective set of images and person identifiers for each image in the respective set of images;
forming a plurality of clusters that includes a respective cluster for each episode, wherein each cluster includes at least two person identifiers;
merging identical clusters to obtain a plurality of people groups, wherein each people group includes two or more person identifiers and wherein each people group is distinct from other people groups in the plurality of people groups;
after the merging, determining that at least one people group appears in a number of episodes of the plurality of episodes that is less than a threshold number;
in response to determination that at least one people group appears in the number of episodes that is less than the threshold number, combining the at least one people group with one or more other people groups, wherein the one or more other people groups each include a subset of the person identifiers included in the at least one people group; and
after the combining, providing a user interface that includes an image-based creation that includes one or more images that depict persons from a particular people group of the plurality of people groups.
