Facebook wants to use AI to understand image content and transform the way we search Tech2 Mobile

Facebook is applying computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI) technology that it developed for visually impaired people to its image search function. Using its Lumos computer vision platform, Facebook will now enhance your image search results by actually "looking" at images and understanding the content within, reports TechCrunch. As Facebook explains on its developer blog, search today is based on tags and text. Images need to have the right tags and captions or search will simply not work. Lumos is a deep neural network, one implementation of AI that learns from experience.
