Facebook Inc said on Monday it was testing a feature on Instagram that allows some content creators in India to share short video clips, known as reels, on their Facebook accounts.

In the test, some Indian users who create the 30-second long reels on Instagram will have the option of having them recommended on Facebook.

• Today, we’re announcing a project called Learning from Videos, designed to automatically learn audio, textual, and visual representations from the data in publicly available videos uploaded to Facebook.
• By learning from videos spanning nearly every country and hundreds of languages, this project will not just help us continuously improve our core AI systems for applications like content recommendation and policy enforcement — it will enable entirely new experiences.
• This is also part of our broader efforts toward building machines that learn like humans do — from any example, not just ones where experts have labeled.
• The first application is now live in Instagram Reels’ recommendation system.

Learning from videos to understand the world

Facebook – which warned of the “headwind” posed by iOS 14.5 in its 2020 accounts – was right to be concerned. Since the update went live last month iPhone owners have been opting out of data tracking in their droves. According to Flurry Analytics, 85 per cent of worldwide users clicked ‘ask app not to track’ when prompted, with the proportion rising to 94 per cent in the US.
