Facebook's New Artificial Intelligence can understand what you post

Facebook has an Artificial Intelligence system called DeepText, which it is capable of analyzing thousands of posts written in 20 different languages per second. The very considerable point is what DeepText understands has the same accuracy as what human comprehend. DeepText can even perceive the intentions and feelings too. This means Facebook will soon comprehend all of what you post to your social networks, what you set up for your account, as well as the information exchange between you and others. For example, if you post a status lamenting that the rain prevents you from going out, Facebook will recommend you Uber. If you say you would sell your old phone with $ 200, DeepText will analyze the item and the price then send notification to those who are in need.


To explain more about the language technical analysis that they use, Facebook said: “In the traditional way of handling, the word will be converted into a format which is available in dictionaries and comprehended by a computer. For example, the word "brother" (brothers) would be tied No. 4568, then anytime we write "brother", computers will look it up in the dictionary (codes 4568) to find the meaning of this word. Meanwhile, the word "bro" (also used with the same meaning as “brother”) has a different code. This makes the analysis slower less accurate. On the other hand, Artificial Intelligence technique will keep the relationship between letters. It is designed to understand "brother" and "bro" are synonyms. It can also comprehend different languages in the same context.

Good news is that Facebook is working on a plan to help DeepText understand users ' needs and hobbies, as well as analyze more than one context at a time.
