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…

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.

Well c'mon, have you really double checked? ;)

Lighting obviously plays an effect, but I was pretty surprised at how it got TFA's Han Solo down decently well. In the poster, he looks more in his 50s.

Lighting obviously plays a part. I wonder if race does as well? To use the common stereotype, does the algorithm make a guess if you're Asian, then guess downwards?

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?

It is back right now and they list the research.

I'm "hmmm" and 55, apparently. "Hmmm" I'll agree with, but I'm 32!

Is this a test for my attractiveness or for the AI?

From a data privacy point of view I would very much appreciate if you added a prominent "delete upload" button to the result page.

Plus: The algorithm thought I was 24 years old. I'm actually 32.

Minus: I got the lowest rating possible. Haha, terribly depressing feedback before a date.

It said I am 36 and I am 37. I am impressed (and Hot(tm))! However, it guessed a coworker was 34/Ummm and she is in her 50s. I am conflicted about telling her the results.

Don't feel too bad -- I ran a photo of Brad Pitt through it and he merely got a "Nice". Granted, I tried a second one and he got "Godlike". I wonder how sensitive the results are to general lighting in the photo.
