LookFlow, a startup that describes itself as “an entirely new way to explore images you love,” just announced that it has been acquired by Yahoo.
The company writes on its homepage, “Fret not, LookFlow fans. Keep an eye out for our product in future versions of Flickr — with many more wonderful photos and all that Flickr awesomeness!” It also says it will be helping Yahoo to form a new “deep learning group.”
When I emailed Yahoo for confirmation, a company spokesperson told me, “We have acquired LookFlow, an enhanced image recognition company” and pointed me to the LookFlow homepage.
