Abstract
The technology described herein provides an efficient mechanism for generating image tags. Image data from a plurality of sources may be analyzed to identify relevant text items from the aggregated data. The relevant text items may be keywords describing a subject of an image, an entity of an image, a location of an image, or the like. From the aggregated image data, one or more image tags may be generated and stored as an offline dataset with an image identifier. Upon detecting a prompt such as a user issuing a search query for an image, the image identifier is used to perform a look up of the image and associated image tags to be provided.
