Abstract. In this paper we report on MICC participation to the Scal-able Concept Image Annotation subtask of the ImageCLEF Photo An-notation and Retrieval competition [13]. Our goal has been to investigate the applicability of data-driven methods that have obtained good results in the field of social image annotation and retrieval to web images. These methods have been applied typically to tasks such as tag ranking, tag suggestion and refinement. Since they do not require a training stage they can be applied in cases in which the set of annotation keywords can vary greatly over time or when the set of images to be analysed is very large.
