It is based on Orbeus's technology which was acquired by Amazon. Orbeus was found by two Chinese guys in Boston University.

#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
I know Watson at least lets you do this: https://www.ibm.com/watson/developercloud/doc/visual-recogni...
It does but it's extremely cumbersome if you have densely tagged images, as you need to send each image once per tag. Plus I believe there's a limit to the size of a ZIP.
Not sure what you mean here - With Watson Visual Recognition, you can train a set of custom classifiers from your example images.
Then in a single API call, you can upload a batch or single image and get a score for each image for each class in all your classifiers. There are limits to the size of the ZIP files you can upload, that's true.

Maybe you were referring to the _demo_ of custom training, here: https://visual-recognition-demo.mybluemix.net/train ? The demo only classifies using one classifier at a time, but the API can do multiple at once.

#44There 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.

#45Are 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.
Check out Torch7 (http://torch.ch) or Google's new TensorFlow (https://www.tensorflow.org) - both of them are really easy to use (especially TensorFlow) and will allow you to build models with a bit of programming knowledge that run offline quite easily.

It really depends what you're interested in accomplishing. If you want to DIY a self-hosted, custom classification solution then TensorFlow, Caffe, Torch7, etc are your best bet. ClarifAI, Watson, Google Cloud, Imagga will classify images into defined buckets through their hosted API. Other cognitive services, like http://CloudSight.ai/, focus on providing a deeper understanding to the image (fine-grained object recognition or scene captioning) using a massive library (currently over 350M+ images) in order to accomplish the task, though we can also utilize custom libraries.
