Yahoo! Made an AI That Automatically Turns Videos Into Fire GIFs

Thanks to a new deep learning system from Yahoo! Research, GIFs are just one more art form--in addition to poetry and calligraphy, to name a few--that computers are quickly mastering. A computer made that all on its own. In fact, not only did a computer make the above GIF, it actually scanned the original video and decided which bits had the highest GIF potential; a video went in, and a slew of appealing GIFs came out. We're on our way to what you could call a fully automated, bean-to-bar, GIF-making solution. Research in New York do, you could call it Video2GIF.
