This is neat. I bet Facebook or OkCupid are sitting on all sorts of click data that could be used to develop tools for helping people make their photos look better. (Even if, personally, I can't wait for a cultural backlash against internet narcissism...)

[Edit: Even better, he didn't use click data to train the model, just public likes.]

The idea to use a convnet to reframe the selfie is neat. Makes it 5% better. Also, if it can be run on the phone, it could possible warn people they are about to post a shitty selfie before they do.
