Recognition AI system sorts art from news

The system is called Recognition and will be running for three months in London up to 27 November 2016, both online and in a small exhibition at the Tate. A nice touch is that it will also take in feedback from matching selections made by viewers themselves at the art museum on Millbank. Created by Fabrica, it's the winner of the IK Prize 2016 for digital innovation, awarded by Tate Britain, in partnership with Microsoft. You can see it in action above, in the match of LS Lowry's Industrial Landscape (from 1955) with a recent construction image of Changi Airport in Singapore… Apparently, Recognition employs multiple artificial intelligence technologies. For example, there is natural language processing to interpret image captions and text, analysing context and subject matter.
