Polarr - we try to build machines to understand human's aesthetics in photography. Polarr Box, https://www.polarr.co/box Also Polarr Editor, https://www.polarr.co/editor Ya'll Photo startups, where are you?

Jon Oringer, the CEO/founder of Shutterstock, mentioned that the industry is badly in need of "a way to automatically choose visually pleasing photos according to exposure, contrast, shadows, and objects to choose a handful of photos worthy of publishing."

Tried looking for the article but couldn't. Definitely B2B type of product.

It'd be interesting to see a before/after photo to see what your AI can do to a given photo.

There you go http://streetviewphotographs.tumblr.com/ (we manage the account and photos are retouched by the engine)

that seems to be showing the 'after' photos, can you see a before photo somewhere, to see the difference?

Batatuá - We created a mathematical model to calculate human perception and we use it to allow people to rate companies and persons without human emotion, also we can calculate the true intelligent profile based on how (humane, innovator, directive and producer) they are and the objectivity of the ratings, with this information intelligent people will have more importance in decision making in every level. It is impossible to falsify ratings, defame, or try to favor someone, everything is real.

We have a prototype/demo at www.batatua.com, registration needed.

(Working in a new version a lot more easier.. haha)

Don't feel bad, man.

Thanks. May be that was the impulsive reaction. Next time, then! How about you?

No reply yet. I wonder if its sending them out in the order of who applied first. Around when did you submit? Mine was in mid September or so.
