Sure , that selfie you just uploaded is perfect in your heart , but will the internet sense the same way ? A new calculator made by investigator at MIT lets you upload your snapshots to calculate the probability that they will go viral .
The calculator is the work of Aditya Khosla , who explain the process in this paper , What makes an range of a function democratic ? , that he pose at this year ’s International World Wide Web league .
To come up with the calculator , Khosla break down over two - million Flickr picture to see both what was bump in the image itself ( such as the colour , contrasts , and kinds of objects ) and what was materialise socially ( such as the popularity of the sender , the act of friend they had , the number of images that they had transport out before ) to make that image either become democratic or go by ignore .
Using that analysis , they put together an algorithm that evaluates the look-alike quality of a photograph — including the popularity of the gloss dodge , as shown in the graphical record below — and uses it to come in up with a potential popularity score .
Of course , not every picture will accompany its popularity score just ; for instance the immensely democratic Oscar selfie above mark lower than this dainty but rather unremarkable scenic view :
The paper also includes a intercellular substance that plot some of the popularity predictions against their genuine popularity .
