Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for tagging images, comprising: receiving a batch of images comprising images of faces; identifying a portion of an image in the batch that corresponds to an untagged face; applying a facial recognition algorithm to the portion of the image, wherein the facial recognition algorithm takes input from a plurality of facial recognition models, wherein the plurality of facial recognition models each is associated with a known person; receiving, from the facial recognition algorithm, matching data comprising possible tags for the untagged face, wherein each of the possible tags for the untagged face is associated with one of the known persons and a probability factor; determining by a computer system, based on logic rules a likelihood for one of the possible tags to correctly match the untagged face, wherein the step of determining comprises: automatically selecting, by the computer system, a provisional tag for the untagged face from the possible tags based on the likelihood.
