Described are methods, systems, and apparatus for recommending catalog items for blacklisting. For each of a plurality of catalog items: image features are extracted; image features are associated with the catalog item; and user purchase events, user view events, a textual description, and categories are associated with the catalog item by the recommendation system. An identification of a first blacklisted catalog item is received. A catalog item is identified by the recommendation system based on i) a similarity between the image features associated with the first blacklisted catalog item and the image features associated with the catalog item, and ii) a correspondence between at least one of the user purchase events, the user view events, the textual description, or the categories associated with the blacklisted catalog item and the user purchase events, the user view events, the textual description, or the categories associated with the catalog item.
