Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes sending, from a client system of a first user to a server of an online social network, an image portraying at least a first person and determining, for each user in a first set of users, a facial-recognition score with respect to the first person portrayed in the image. The facial-recognition score is based at least in part on a facial-representation associated with the user being compared with the image. The method further includes presenting, at the client system, one or more tag suggestions for the first person portrayed in the image based on the facial-recognition scores and a social-graph affinity associated with one or more users of the first set of users and receiving a selection of a particular tag suggestion by the first user. Each tag suggestion corresponds to a particular user of the first set of users.
