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. 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. A display at Tate Britain accompanies the online project offering visitors to the gallery the chance to compare the machine's matches with their own and invites them to help retrain the algorithm. The experiment will explore whether an artificial intelligence programme can learn from the many personal responses humans have when looking at images.
