The Science Behind The Selfie

Have you ever wondered how many likes or comments your selfie is going to rack up? Well if you haven’t then you are defiantly not telling the truth. However, if you do, then scientists think they can help!

Researchers at MIT’s computer science and artificial intelligence lab have developed an algorithm that determines how memorable or forgettable an image is. The algorithm uses deep learning to analyze thousands of tagged photos.

The technology has applications outside of selfies, such as powering health –related apps that improve people’s memory. And in the future, you can make sure that your picture will be huge on Instagram before even uploading it.
