Facebook DeepText - Facebook's text understanding engine

There was an article on TechCrunch about this yesterday h/t @joshconstine (who we have on for a LIVE Chat tomorrow!) 400,000 new stories and 125,000 comments on public posts are shared every minute on Facebook. DeepText will help Facebook analyze several thousand per second across 20 languages with near-human accuracy. DeepText will obviously make a big impact in Messenger, but that means scanning your private messages... Regardless, it will be interesting to see this develop

Presentation of DeepText by Facebook

No open source? Seems Google's Syntaxnet is more interesting. But an arxiv paper could help

This is a fantastic use case:

I agree, I think Parsey McParseface is more open, so inherently more useful outside of FB's walled in garden.

How is a blog post qualify as a front page product?

Is it opensource? I've been waiting for the github repo but it seems like it hasn't come yet.

Recommending content that is relevant to their interests seems like a promise that is hard to kee considering the fact that big companies will be the ones that are "relevant" in regards of their size.

This is interesting. Facebook has been contributing to Torch. Looking forward to seeing DeepText feedback to Torch.

Facebook is neither sharing nor releasing anything here, this is just PR. No value to the public.

isnt this the plot line of Ex Machina?

The link is dead

Cool project , hope they will open source at least some part of that

Cool project
