A system and method perform cross-modal information retrieval, by generating a graph representing the set of media objects. Each node of the graph corresponds to a media object and is labeled with a set of features corresponding to a text part of the respective media object. Each edge between two nodes represents a similarity between a media part of the two nodes. A first relevance score is computed for each media object of the set of media objects that corresponds to a text-based score. A second relevance score is computed for each media object by inputting the graph into a graph neural network. The first relevance score and the second relevance score are combined to obtain a final ranking score for each media object.
