Abstract
Implementations relate to automatic response suggestions to images included in received messages. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes detecting an image posted within a first message by a first user, and programmatically analyzing the image to determine a feature vector representative of the image. The method programmatically generates one or more suggested responses to the first message based on the feature vector, each suggested response being a conversational reply to the first message. Generating the suggested responses includes determining probabilities associated with word sequences for the feature vector using a model trained with previous responses to previous images, and selecting one or more of the word sequences based on the associated probabilities. The suggested responses are determined based on the selected word sequences. The method causes the suggested responses to be rendered in the messaging application as one or more suggestions to a second user.
