Facebook AI reads over 1 Billion memes a day

There are so many memes on Facebook and Instagram that the company has enlisted its artificial intelligence to help understand them.
In a blog post, Facebook developers say they have created a dedicated AI tool, called Rosetta, to read the text that appears in memes (and other images and video frames) that are shared to Facebook and Instagram.
At face value, understanding memes might not seem like the most important problem for AI to solve. But Facebook's researchers point out that the technology, which is designed to recognize depicted text in a wide variety of languages, has many practical uses.
For example, Rosetta can read photographed text in menus and street signs, as well as words appearing on clothing and product labels. So while Rosetta isn't dedicated to memes, their prevalence on Facebook and Instagram will undoubtedly make them a major use case, especially in Facebook's detection of offensive material.
"Understanding the text that appears on images is important for improving experiences, such as a more relevant photo search or the incorporation of text into screen readers that make Facebook more accessible for the visually impaired," Facebook explains, adding that reading text in images is important in identifying "inappropriate or harmful content and keep our community safe."
According to Facebook, the system is able to process more than a billion images a day.
It looks like it can actually read the text, some type of advanced Optical character recognition (OCR) software.
