Thanks!

Well, the composition is not bad, the colors are more than decent. There's no bad motion blur, the main subject is clear (albeit gross). The score seems decent for that.

Actually, the score scaling is a very tough subject for a public thing. We received some comments saying that Keegan is wayy too harsh, it seems people expect their everyday picture to score 7-8 (we've been told it'd be a big problem in the US especially, I can't judge on that as not living there tho :/), while we feel that Keegan s generally a bit too generous for Europe standards.

Hi,

I might be a particularly tough sell since I grew up in the US but have been living in Europe for quite some time now ;)

I think what you're seeing on is AI hype in action. The marketing of Keegan suggests that it's AI should be capturing some of what is usually perceived as subjective taste (e.g. whether or not the image is "interesting"). This ends up disappointing because the AI (which is clearly an incredible technical feat) is really just capturing objective elements of composition.

Perhaps you just need to fine-tune the language so as to do some expectation management?

This is indeed a "fun" project which showcases the technology and provides (I think) fairly relevant comments (trust me - a random generator is much worse, we had terrible comments at the beginning of the project). The other technology modules you describe (face recognition etc) are indeed requirements for a semi or fully automated curation system.

that's because Keegan can be witty and a bit harsh at times :) but yeah now that you say it I can imagine some creepy memes with him xD

Is he good friends with the Incognito guy?

Judge on a single sample, do you ? :) That's a fairly strong statement based on a fairly small dataset :( But yeah, our heuristics to ignore some content (e.g. websites screenshots) sometimes trip on real pictures. There's still a lot of room for improvement :)

Judging by the tags, it recognizes this as a street sign (which is great and amazing), and yet says it's "not a photo".

A photo of a street sign is definitely a photo ;-)

Yeah it's super harsh with street signs or that kind of large text on pictures. The protection is there to avoid saying really silly stuff on utilities bills and other kinds of paperwork. I'll add this example to the ones we should accept.

weird, it worked for me: https://keegan.regaind.io/p/jPERL_ltSqG8WwwCtVlwaA

Well done :p There are 17 hidden achievements with multiple thematic ones like this!

Thanks ^_^ as mentioned in the about modal we received a lot of quality help to polish Keegan's language :)

Are you based in Paris? That's great!

We do! We're at Agoranov near Luco, feel free to drop by if you want to have a chat :)

I'd love to! Are you Guillaume?

Are you working on more than classification? What about automatic improvements, including not just lightning but also straightening, cropping, etc.

I'm! You can get in touch with us at hello /at/ regaind.io

You can have a look at your webpage for all that we do (https://regaind.io), but yeah, automatic improvement is on the list of potential things we would like to do :)

Haha do you have the link for that fail?

Sadly we cut Keegan off internet a while ago to train, and he is not quite aware of the global context which makes this photo extremely taking :(
