Digital Smarts - Facebook Developing VideoStory For Users with Disabilities

Facebook has created a dataset called VideoStory designed to train systems to learn how to automatically describe what happens in videos that have been posted to the social networking website, according to an article from VentureBeat . Researchers say this development can aid in allowing people with disabilities or poor internet connections to engage with videos on the platform. While not a perfect system, this development is especially important as videos and other visual media become more and more dominant on the Internet.
