Very interesting. Can you please talk about the algorithm you use to predict the popularity score .

To add a bit to Parth's answer it has been trained using metric learning type losses and normal softmax combined. There is a next version of combined low/high level features combined algorithms we are slowly going to update into.

This is very interesting. I cannot stop thinking that this is the logical next step of social media, or if you want to make the circle a bit bigger - photography; or even bigger - self representation.

People strive to be perceived in a certain light and be approved for this egocentric perception of oneself. First it started with favorable pictures that you deemed fitting. Then along came filters, which "enhance" certain features of your pictures. Now Cornea AI - which guesses the approval rate of your pictures.

I somehow find it beautiful. But then again I feel a bit sad that humans have come thus far...

Maybe someone should do an app that writes facebook posts for you, predicting what will be the most popular. Or Reddit -- since the populaity of all Reddit posts is known it would be a good training set for such an AI :-)

Absolutely! With visual content being predicted for popularity, a model can be made which produces quality content based on the training data of existing popular content from different sources.

I'm sorry but what does this have to do with democratization?
