Ask HN: Does anyone know what image recognition algorith the app “Foap” uses?
Foap is an app that allows you to sell photos, but the system it uses for tagging is insane. It's crazy accurate and I want to know who made it.

This are the results: NONE of them identified people as mariachis ;-)
Microsoft: Captions: "a group of people on a boat" Tags: outdoor, sky, tree, boat
Clarifai (TAGS): people, vehicle, water, festival watercraft, transportation system, tourist, travel tourism, city, adult, group boat, recreation, man, outdoors competition, canal, sfw transportation, travel
Google (tags): Boat 79% Vehicle 77% Boating 67% Waterway 58% Raft 53%
My only conclusion is that both Google, Clarifai, and Microsoft are doing a great job. You should take a look at what you need and choose the best provider.
