Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus for scoring images related to entities. In one aspect, a method includes identifying images associated with a person, each image being included in one or more resources; obtaining, for each resource that includes one of the images, a quality score that represents a quality of the resource; for each of the images: generating an image resource quality score from the quality scores of the resources that include the image; identifying a set of similar images from the images, each similar image having a measure of similarity to the image that meets a similarity measure threshold; generating an image score based on image resource quality scores of the resources that include the similar images relative to image resource quality scores of the resources that include each of the images; and generating an image authority score based on the image resource quality score and the image score.
