Twitter will be utilizing neural networks to improve picture previews, allowing the site to crop into the most interesting part of the image. The engineers responsible explained the feature in a blog post, stating it was developed from basic facial recognition software. They also researched eyed-tracking to train neural networks and similar algorithms to predict what people look at. Engineers then used a process called "knowledge distillation" to allow the algorithms to work in real time. The fe...
