Abstract

Methods, systems and apparatus for assigning labels to images. In general, in one aspect, a method includes determining, for an image, a first set of labels, each label being determined to be indicative of subject matter of the image based on content feature values of the image, for each label in the first set of labels, determining a second set of labels, each label in the second set of labels determined to be semantically related to the label in the first set of labels, assigning a score to each label in the second sets of labels, and based on the scores assigned to each label in the second sets of labels, assigning one or more of the labels in the second sets of labels to the image.
