What does Facebook read from the uploads you upload?

Every time you upload a photo to Facebook or another of the company's services, tags are automatically added. One of the reasons for this addition is that tags can help people with vision to understand photos posted on Facebook (according to the company).

But the fact shows how much the algorithm has developed on Facebook. Needless to say, each tag or tag is automatically added to the bigger social networking data.Facebook

And while o Facebook's image recognition engine continues to evolve to improve existing services, such as searching or ensuring that images do not violate the social network's policies, and may add information that is not part of image metadata.

The algorithm that analyzes images in Facebook adds more basic tags like sky, tree, cat, and other words that define the image.

Since April 2016, Facebook automatically adds the alt tags to the uploads you upload, so they are filled with keywords that represent the content of your images. Your images are highlighted by Deep ConvNet developed by Facebook FAIR team.

If you're interested in learning how and which labels Facebook adds to your photos, you can install a browser add-on that reveals them.

The Show Facebook Computer Tags is a browser add-on for him Chrome and Firefox. After installation, all you need to do is visit Facebook. You will notice that in the photos on the social network you can also see the labels in the top right corner.

Tags are only in the photos uploaded by someone and not in the images added with a link.

The images you see and do not have labels are because Facebook's image recognition algorithm has had trouble locating the image.

It seems that the algorithm doesn't work correctly for all images and it sure keeps the Facebook engineers busy. But as you will notice it does its job very well for most photos on the web.
