Yahoo has reportedly acquired a California-based startup with technology that incorporates artificial intelligence into a platform for image search and discovery, LookFlow.

According to AllThingsD, LookFlow will join the Flickr unit and help Yahoo in building a 'deep learning group'.

LookFlow's acquisition is the latest in CEO Marissa Mayer's list of other business acquisitions, including the mega purchase of Tumblr for a whopping 1.1 billion dollars, aimed at reviving the once-popular search site.

The terms of the latest deal are undisclosed, the report added.
