The Face Recognition Algorithm That Finally Outperforms Humans
-
Chaochao Lu and Xiaoou Tang at the Chinese University of Hong Kong say they’ve developed a face recognition algorithm called GaussianFace that outperforms humans for the first time.
Yea, but can it write a symphony?

But when the algorithm is faced with images that are entirely different from the training set, it often fails. “When the [image] distribution changes, these methods may suffer a large performance drop,” say Chaochao and Xiaoou.
The problem where the computer defeats humans is a narrowly-defined situation where the system is trained with a specific set of faces. Typically humans can recognize thousands of faces in various contexts much of the time. It is still an impressive accomplishment though.

Finding look a likes might be much easier now :laugh:

So it's all about speed of processing! Get a extremely powerful computer and run all the known face-recognition algorithms on the pictures - you probably got a 100% success in less time a human need to look at the picture...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)
