I found a random image of a human face and tried to upload it. Stuck at "Image queued for upload..." for minutes. Then came a page asking me to "annotate" the image by adjusting the auto-positioned point markers on my image according to this image[0]. Finally I saw this message: "An error has occured. Please try again." Is the server too busy right now? [0]: http://face.cbs.dtu.dk/graph/annoEx.png Mirror: https://arc…

Site is not opening Seems like HN effect has freezed their server.

"Error, code UL1JOBHASH: parsererror"

I knew I wasn't the best looking guy but this seems more harsh than I anticipated.

As noted in the first paragraph, a tool such as this will be useful to "other cultures" only after a panel comprised of people of the target culture have calibrated the tool.

This is a bit sensitive to cultural influences. For instance, male facial characteristics have a clear regional variance, thus biasing the result in a particular population. I can tell from experience, I'm a male pushing over thirty with ridiculously androgynous features. I'm tagged as a boy by local population, and when I visit UK, I'm tagged as a 'ugly woman' :)

In addition to what the first paragraph says, I'll add that given the strong cultural bias there can be on such thing, I wouldn't put too much trust into such a tool except if it could be calibrated by a panel of the "other people" you are targeting.

Perhaps too many ugly people are using the server and it refused to continue analyzing pictures!
