Microsoft’s Research division has developed a new artificial intelligence system that can automatically generate stories using your photos, trying not only to explain what exactly is happening in the pictures but also to detail the context and people’s feelings.

The process of developing storytelling capabilities for photos is based on AI systems that can identify objects after learning by example, as LiveScienceexplains. The researchers first configured the systems to analyze a series of similar images and then look online to identify more objects that fall in the same category.

Furthermore, the Microsoft Research team turned to the Amazon Mechanical Turk, a service where people describe scenes of a batch of photos, thus having the AI systems learn them and then generate new ones by matching different pictures with different descriptions.

Take a situation like this for instance:

"This is a picture of a family; this is a picture of a cake; this is a picture of a dog; this is a picture of a beach”

The A.I will make it into a more story-like description like this:

“The family got together for a cookout; they had a lot of delicious food; the dog was happy to be there; they had a great time on the beach; they even had a swim in the water.”

For the moment, however, these are just the first stages of the new tech, so it takes a little bit longer until it improves, as researchers have already found issues that they need to deal with before it can go mainstream.
