We're building a meme recognizer! (self.Blind)
submitted 5.293221579218107y ago by NeurobiologicalHug
Hi,
I'm the developer of Envision AI. We're a bunch of designers and computer vision engineers who've been working on it for the last year. I recently saw the post that became pretty popular here and decided to give the problem a stab.
We now have a working version of a few memes like the Success Kid meme, Good guy Greg, etc. I just wanted to take your suggestions into consideration while building this. Can you tell me what more memes you want covered? Or do you have any specific feature that might be useful to you?

Hey, that's cool. Will it be open source?
NeurobiologicalHug [OP] 2 points 5y ago
Hi!
As of now we don't have explicit plans of making this open source but we will write a blog post that will detail the whole process.

Is there a way to get on a notification list to follow along especially for when release is close?
Sounds like a super cool project!

Just applied and I'm stoked to try it out. Thanks for working on this.
NeurobiologicalHug [OP] 1 points 5y ago
Cool! I did not plan properly for this, but will make something dedicated to keep you guys updated on this. I am hoping to have a beta version of this ready over the weekend. So I can then invite you test the app and give feedback.

Very cool! Consider a feature linking to an explanation of the meme on knowyourmeme.com
NeurobiologicalHug [OP] 2 points 5y ago
Yup! That's part of the app already. You will be able to double tap on the meme and that will either take you the respective knowyourmeme.com page or show you an alert with a gist of the meme.

This is going to be a super tough project, especially since memes keep popping up and they're so pop culture-centric. That said, I'm super grateful to you for this huge undertaking. I hope this community can help as much as possible.
I feel like making this an open source deal would be super beneficial for the reasons stated above.
Personally though I'd love to be able to recognize and share Rick and Morty memes and Bobs Burgers memes but that's just me.

True. At some point we will spin this into a community project and will look into open sourcing the meme recognizer. But as of now we will have a feature within the app that will allow users to tell us if we're missing out on any popular meme.
And yes, i'll take a look into the memes you mentioned and incorporate them into the app!

Interesting. I do have one question, how will you account for new memes that pop up all the time?
NeurobiologicalHug [OP] 1 points 5y ago
Good question. Maybe we can have an feature within the app that lets people suggest new memes that aren't covered by the app so far. That will allow us to constantly update the meme recognition engine.

Have you considered pulling the top posts from some popular subreddits (like /r/AdviceAnimals) as a source of memes?
dmazzoni 1 points 5y ago
You could just get them from meme generator sites:

NeurobiologicalHug [OP] 2 points 5y ago
This sounds like an interesting option too. I'll use this as a source of collecting popular memes and including them in the engine. For the first release I'll pull in around a dozen or so popular memes, and each week I would be able to add more.
