China has the largest number of elderly people in the world, young volunteers have become the main force in caring for the elderly. It is urgent to establish a photo conversation support system to build a bridge of communication between young volunteers and the elderly. Previous research generally used perceptual analysis or machine learning methods to find photos suitable for intergenerational conversation, this paper uses deep learning models to further learn the potential features of two

... sets suitable for and not suitable for intergenerational conversations. However, the original datasets are too small, it was first proposed to use TF-IDF in conversation recording and data augmentation technology in images to expand the datasets. Then on the basis of the VGG16 model combined with transfer learning and fine-tuning technologies, five models were designed. The accuracy of the best model on the validation set and test set reached 96% and 94.5%. In particular, the recall rate of the not suitable dataset reached 100%, all not suitable photos were identified. At the same time, the recall rate of other datasets reached 71% for not suitable photos. It shows that the system is also applicable to other datasets and can effectively eliminate photos that are not suitable for intergenerational conversations.
