Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a first user associated with an online social network, a request to view an image associated with the online social network, accessing the image, wherein the image includes multiple tags corresponding to multiple objects, generating an aggregated tag for two or more of the tags based on the proximity of the tags to each other, determining a social-graph affinity for each object in the aggregated tag, and rendering the image with a tag-label for the aggregated tag, where the description in the tag-label is based on the social-graph affinity for the objects associated with the aggregated tag.
