Instead, Tagyu uses the collective intelligence of the tagging public to determine tags for a document. Tagyu indexes the web, finding tagged documents. When you ask Tagyu for tags for your text, Tagyu finds similar text that's already been tagged by humans and uses those tags as the basis for its suggestions to you. The concept presented in the paper you link to is similar, except that they're using automatically generated tags for navigation and indexing of the web. They also remove the user-supplied tags from any documents they encounter, relying exclusively on the auto tagger. Tagyu doessn’t pull tags from the contents of a text.
