Startup idea #384826 - "Does this outfit make me look fat?" As A Service

I actually thought an interesting idea is an app that recommends you which dating site to use based on your face.

If you're good looking you can pretty much use whatever.

But for someone like myself who is ethnic and not visually attractive, my success rate is really low on certain sites and acceptable on certain apps.

For example, my performance on Match (Graphic I made: http://i.imgur.com/UZuSzD9.png) was pretty woeful in December. But I started using another app in the same week and had much higher success in getting responses relative to effort level.

Obligatory..."what's new?" Especially now that the site's down. I mean, is it different from Project Oxford, the Microsoft API that's been around for awhile and is still quite amazing? https://www.projectoxford.ai/demo/vision#Analysis I actually tried it out early this morning, to compare it with a stock install of OpenCV 3. It got the faces correct, and the ages very well too. Here are its guesses for the Star Wars…

I think it's just that there is so little of Fisher's face visible. I couldn't even tell who that was until I read your full comment.

Actually age isn't new at all. NIST ran an age estimation test before Microsoft's API. I worked on Cognitec's algorithm.

Hi, I'm Rasmus and worked on the algorithms behind faces.ethz.ch. If you have any technical questions, let me know! Sorry for having some stability issues, we got much more traffic than expected and are currently working hard to fix everything!

Your website is offline, do you have a paper about your technology?

Oh dear - just put my own picture into that and it guessed I was 34 and my fiance 38...we're 25 and 26.

Edit - tried a different pic, it guessed my fiance was 51.
