That is actually pretty freaking cool. Not hard to do by any means, just cool.

- fortran77 4y agoI think it's harder than it looks to do it reliably and automatically.
- matt-attack 4y agoWe have no idea as to the reliability of the system. We don't know how many false positives were found. We don't know if these were just hand selected from date/time/location.
- londons_explore 4y agoThe machine learning element isn't really needed if the instagram posts are tagged by date/time...
- FrenchTouch42 4y agoYou could have taken the picture a day before or am I missing something? The post date/time itself does not mean much.
- rootusrootus 4y agoMany (most?) photos have EXIF tags with timestamps showing when the picture was actually taken, regardless of when it was posted. But given the amount of post-processing that likely happens to Instagram photos, I would not be surprised if that info was stripped out entirely, or at least altered.
- anigbrowl 4y agoEXIF tags are scrubbed by most social media sites.
- Silverback_VII 4y agobut they certainly keep the original with the tags somewhere.
- tomcatfish 4y agoDo you think the author is somehow gaining access to the originals? I do not see how this is relevant.
- Nadya 4y agoDue to a massive rise in doxxing and stalking that occurred after 4chan made checking EXIF data an extremely common tactic when doxxing people - complete with "how to" guides for less tech savvy individuals - most image hosts and social media sites nowadays strip EXIF data from uploaded images. Some sites will detect/extract certain data only (eg: to include the camera/lens used for photography-focused image sharing sites) and scrub the rest. Been that way for roughly a decade if not longer now.
