Abstract: A method and system for automated generation of photographic metadata in response to a machine learning algorithm including an input for receiving an image, a processor configured to perform an image recognition algorithm to generate a first metadata, to predict a second set of metadata in response to the first set of metadata and a set of rules generated in response to a machine learning training process wherein the set of rules are generated in response to a plurality of images having user generated metadata, and an output for transmitting the second set of metadata and the image to a storage medium.
