"ReSnap, a company that automatically creates a book of photographs from a range of sources, has announced an update for its\u00A0beta platform, which it promises is now smarter than ever.\r\n\r\nThis time last year, ReSnap launched its\u00A0beta\u00A0that allowed you to create a photo book from a wide variety social and big data sources. Now, one year on, it's relaunching with a revamped platform that allows you to upload photos from local storage - it will then automatically pick the best images from the selection without you having to do anything.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6p5MRp0mYc\r\n\r\nA year is a long time in tech though, what took so long?\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;The launch took us a year because we implemented state-of-the-art deep learning techniques as a cooperation with some leading universities and we analyzed hundreds of thousands of pictures&amp;quot; Joachim den Hertog, co-founder of\u00A0ReSnap,\u00A0says.\r\n\r\nWhile the new system draws on automated image selection based\u00A0quality filters like\u00A0blurriness or overexposure, you can always tweak the end result if you disagree with the choices made.\r\n\r\nIn future, the company says it'll make selections based on the &amp;quot;emotional value&amp;quot; of a specific photo\u00A0-\u00A0it will use image recognition combined with emotional value to select images. &amp;quot;For example we can propose a solution instead of just saying that a specific\u00A0photo doesn\u2019t\u00A0contain a cat. In this case our neural network says, this is a\u00A0cat and you like cats and therefore we will select this picture for you,&amp;quot; a spokesperson told TNW.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;What's important is that ReSnap learns from the pictures people upload but they throw them away afterwards. ReSnap only keeps the statistic anonymous data so your privacy stays yours,&amp;quot; ReSnaps says.\r\n\r\nFor now, you'll have to make do with the automated photo book creation, but the company says the emotional value feature is set to launch this summer.\r\n\r\n\u27A4\u00A0ReSnap"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
