The last of this blog

So here I am, 13 weeks in and writing my last post now. It has been a joyous but honestly tedious journey to write blogs every week. I am not so much of a person who share things on the Internet but this process has taught me to be consistent. Also, because of the need to share interesting information on this blog, I have learnt a lot myself, and read things I would not have paid attention to in the past. But with this blog, I am always concern about news regarding technological stuff and the Internet. To end off my blog journey, I came across this blog post which talks about the computer and internet stuff and I would like to share with all...

It was only recently that computer systems became smart enough to identify unknown objects in photographs. Even then, it has generally been limited to individual objects. Now, two separate teams of researchers at Google and Stanford University have created software able to describe entire scenes. This could lead to much better and more intelligent algorithms in the future.

Stanford's work, entitled "Deep Visual-Semantic Alignments for Generating Image Descriptions", explains how specific details found in photographs and videos can be translated into written text. Google's version of the technology, in a study titled "Show and Tell: A Neural Image Caption Generator", produced similar results.

While each team used a slightly different approach, they both combined deep convolutional neural networks with recurrent neural networks that excel at text analysis and natural language processing. The programs were able to "learn" from each new interaction, with algorithms enabling the system to improve its accuracy by scanning scene after scene, looking for patterns, and then using the accumulation of previously described scenes to extrapolate what is being depicted in the next unknown image.

Thank you all for reading my blog and I hope you enjoy reading what I shared. Adios!
