It can map objects, actions, scenes, speech, and emotions, theoretically making any footage instantly discoverable. However, knowing the limitations of the technology is equally important; for example, it may not recognize faces of people who are not famous or may not capture abstract meaning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of those shortcomings will soon be mitigated as the datasets get larger and models get better. By now, Intelligent Media Search can give you the much-needed opportunity to save hours, monetize records, and provide fast, smart storytelling.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the boom in the number of hours of broadcast transmission, media houses now have content &hellip;
