Facebook Updates Photo Auto-Tagging Feature to Include Actions, Other New Specifics

If you have used Facebook at all in the past few years you are probably familiar with the app's remarkable Artificial Intelligence capabilities. This is largely present in the face-recognition and friend tag suggestion abilities. Apparently, though, the company has improved this AI so that it is now even more impressive. Indeed, Facebook's director of applied machine learning, Joaquin Candela, shared, in a blog post, that Facebook can now recognize not only particular objects in your photographs, but also scenes and actions now, too. And this is true even within your photo posts that bear no words at all.
