"Any data that can be represented as an image is amenable to analysis by Imagen's technology," says Lipson. "It is one of the very few technologies that can transcend different domains, from natural scenes to human faces to trademarks...
With such a system in place, a more thoughtful assessment of a film’s merits could accompany any algorithm involving the number of vulgarities and eye-gougings in each movie.
