The real question is, where do you get this training data from?
All over the web! For instance, over 20% of all tweets have emoji in them. Emoji are very popular in instagram comments, etc.

#12I have to say this was one of the more "fun" ML articles I have read lately. Excellent visualizations as well. Great job!

Thanks! I was tempted to go way more technical but we decided it would be fun to let more people get some intuitive grasp of these kinds of algorithms.

#14As a lover of Emoji and deep learning, this is awesome. Are you planning to support unicode 9.0 sometime soon (I know it isn't even technically out)?

We start supporting them as soon as they're available! Obviously we have a lot less training data early on but we can lean on some heuristics early on until it builds up.
Unfortunately in the app we can't give you emoji that your phone doesn't support so we don't always show all the results.

Another example is Venmo.
In fact I made a website that tracks the live count of emojis used on Venmo:

#17Pretty cool. Tried about 10 sentences and the suggested emojis were spot on. Nice write up.

I shared it internally with my team as well. :)

#19This is pretty cool. Emoji's seem trivial, but they're becoming more and more important in communications (whether that is good or bad is a separate discussion), and this is a pretty impressive bit of ML.

If you have (or build) a slack integration, would you be able to include custom emoji's? Or is that not enough input?
