The artificial intelligence that crops your Twitter photos is getting a lot smarter.*
In a new blog post (https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/topics/infrastructure/2018/Smart-Auto-Cropping-of-Images.html), Twitter machine learning researchers Zehan Wang and Lucas Theis describe the company's new approach to cropping your photos into preview thumbnails.
