Smart Tags

In the Assets UI, create a folder to upload images. 

Select the folder, and click/tap the Properties icon from the toolbar.

In the Folder Properties page, select Enable Smart Tags.

Click/tap Save, and click/tap OK to close the dialog.

Upload image assets to the folder. Tags are automatically applied to the images you upload.

Navigate to the Properties page of an image. The applied tags automatically appear under Smart Tags.

Tags to which the smart tag algorithm assigns a high relevance with respect to the image are added. In addition, the algorithm applies a minimum confidence threshold for smart tags to avoid having too many tags for each image, which slows down indexing. This may not be the optimal threshold for all users. Adobe encourages you to inspect and curate the tags.

In the current example, the algorithm assigns a high relevance to the tags bag, backpack, and so on. AEM ranks the search results based on the relative importance of tags, which generally improves search results beyond what an inspection of the assigned tags of any image suggests. Any inaccurate tags often have low relevance so they seldom show up at the top of search results.

In the CRX repository, Smart tags are stored at a separate location from the tags that are assigned manually and do not interfere with the manual tags in any way. Therefore, there is no risk of interference (contamination) of the manual tags. Also, manual tags are assigned maximum relevance. This way, if images have manual tags that match the search query, they are displayed before smart tags matching the search query.

Navigate to the Properties page of any image asset in the folder. The automatically added tags appear under Smart Tags.

Click/tap the Search icon from the toolbar to display the Ominsearch box.

Specify a tag that you haven't explicitly added to an image, and search based on the tag.

Inspect the search results to identify an image that you don't find relevant to your search.

From the Manage Tags page, inspect the tags. If you don't want the image to be searched based on a specific tag, select the tag and then click/tap the Delete icon from the toolbar. Alternatively, click/tap the (X) symbol that appears beside the label.

To assign a higher rank to a tag, select the tag and click/tap the Promote icon from the toolbar.

The tag you promote, is moved to the Tags section.

Click/tap Save, and then click/tap Ok to close the Success dialog.

Navigate to the Properties page for the image. Observe that the tag you promoted is assigned a high relevance and, therefore, occupies the first place in the list of smart tags.
