Anybody know whether it is kosher to use Rekognition (or comparable Google/Azure/Clarify solutions) as a source of "supervised" data to bootstrap your own in-house ML models? I'm pretty sure the TOS would frown upon that, but it would beat manually tagging your own datasets, plus its hard/impossible for them to enforce.

EDIT: in retrospect, the pricing means its probably not economically viable.

Will this help me tag and classify my thousands of personal photos? Once it recognizes a face will it tag it and identify it the next time I call it with the same person on another picture?

Yes.

> You can also use Rekognition to compare faces and to see if a given image contains any one of a number of faces that you have asked it to recognize.

https://developer-preview.clarifai.com/guide/train#add-image... Try this - Clarifai is run my Matthew Zeiler, who's imagenet results really kickstarted the whole deep learning craze.

Clarifai's web interface for training with your own images is great, although a little slow — but that could be my computer. I've used their standard/general model for classifying most of the images for the search on my site, and would love to use custom models for various side project ideas I have, but the price is way too much for me ($0.46 per concept, per month).

Hey, Jason from Clarifai here. Reach out to us. I'd be interested in hearing more about your ideas, and how we might be able to support them. Fun fact: we're willing to give volume discounts based on number of concepts, inputs (indexed image search results), or predictions (tagged images).

There are a lot of services like this (Google Cloud Vision, IBM Watson, CloudSight, Clarifai, Imagga) but I'm yet to see one that lets me provide my own dataset. That's what I'm most interested in. So far the only solution I know of is to take Google's Inception net and train/host it myself somewhere.

Metamind used to let you do that. Clarifai lets you host models as well AFAIK.

Thanks for getting in touch, Jason. That's good to hear! I'll be sure to contact you when I've sifted through my ideas.

Are there other similar services out there or is this completely new? It looks really awesome. I know this is silly to ask of a cloud company but some kind of offline mode would be really useful for robotics and for the security example. Maybe it could be limited like you request n specific things you want to recognize and it stores the relevant data locally.

Awesome, I never knew what happened to these guys! We used to use it to count faces and get some basic demo data from the photos our animated GIF photo booth takes. One day it shut down but we didn't know why until now!

Feel free to give www.kairos.com a try. We have a world class facial detection and recognition service, as well as emotion analysis on still images and video.

Worst AWS product name after Elastic BeanStalk.

It's just named after the product they bought: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-04-05/amazon-sa... The ReKognition API

And so? They didn't name RedShift (great name!) after the company they acquired.

I don't care either way--I was just pointing out that they didn't choose the name
