Google makes image recognition advance - BBC News

Scientists at Google have created artificial intelligence software that can describe the contents of photographs far more accurately than ever before. The software's description of pictures was similar to that written by a human. As well as making it easier to search for images, the software could be used to help blind people understand pictures better, Google said. Stanford University has also announced a breakthrough in the same field. The machine-learning software developed by Google used two neural networks - one which deals with image recognition, the other with natural language processing.
