Abstract
Systems and methods for image tagging are described. In some embodiments, images with problematic tags are identified after applying an auto-tagger. The images with problematic tags are then sent to an object detection network. In some cases, the object detection network is trained using a training set selected to improve detection of objects associated with the problematic tags. The output of the object detection network can be merged with the output of the auto-tagger to provide a combined image tagging output. In some cases, the output of the object detection network also includes a bounding box, which can be used to crop the image around a relevant object so that the auto-tagger can be reapplied to a portion of the image.
