Facebook to expirement with AI in new lab

When we think Facebook, the first few things that come to our mind in no particular order are cats, memes, couple pictures and BitStrip cartoons. Facebook has announced that it has formed a whole new AI Group which will be led by New York University professor, Yann LeCun. Dabbling in AI “Facebook has created a new research laboratory with the ambitious, long-term goal of bringing about major advances in Artificial Intelligence,” he wrote. “The goal here is to use new approaches in AI to help make sense of all the content that people share so we can generate new insights about the world to answer people’s questions. Right from improving the News Feed’s algorithm to photos, videos and facial recognition at Facebook, this Deep Learning could help the social networking website engross users better.
