Val.ai watched every movie to figure out which one you want
Alexa is going to the movies. The Finnish folks at Valossa are leveraging the tech behind Amazon's voice assistant to answer your burning cinematic questions with their Val.ai initiative. As the company tells it, Val.ai can identify over a thousand qualities of a movie from any video stream automatically, including emotions, locations and specific objects. So, for example, asking "what movie has Gwyneth Paltrow head in a box?" will bring back David Fincher's Se7en. The company says that it was designed for content providers (think Netflix's upcoming second screen revamp) to "reach down into their video content, identify it and make it searchable in real-time."
