Obligatory..."what's new?" Especially now that the site's down.

I mean, is it different from Project Oxford, the Microsoft API that's been around for awhile and is still quite amazing?

https://www.projectoxford.ai/demo/vision#Analysis

I actually tried it out early this morning, to compare it with a stock install of OpenCV 3. It got the faces correct, and the ages very well too.

Here are its guesses for the Star Wars TFA poster: http://imgur.com/XT7RmX6

Of course, perhaps users have trained it...particularly ones sympathetic to Carrie Fisher. Though I'd argue that they would've also corrected Boyega's face.

Oh dear - just put my own picture into that and it guessed I was 34 and my fiance 38...we're 25 and 26.

Edit - tried a different pic, it guessed my fiance was 51.

Well c'mon, have you really double checked? ;)

Lighting obviously plays an effect, but I was pretty surprised at how it got TFA's Han Solo down decently well. In the poster, he looks more in his 50s.

Lighting obviously plays a part. I wonder if race does as well? To use the common stereotype, does the algorithm make a guess if you're Asian, then guess downwards?

Actually age isn't new at all. NIST ran an age estimation test before Microsoft's API. I worked on Cognitec's algorithm.

I think it's just that there is so little of Fisher's face visible. I couldn't even tell who that was until I read your full comment.

the flag for "Adult Content" reminds me of anecdotes about mechanical turk workers standing in to keep uploads child friendly, now mixed with Age Identification this gets a new perspective. Is this in active use somewhere?

Oxford is cool indeed.
