I tried with the sample pictures on my computer, and it recognized all of them - some with uncanny accuracy.

I uploaded some photos which I took recently. It recognized them to fairly well.

Changing the orientation of an image, even if the orientation is provided in the metadata, seems to trip it up though.

Overall, amazing. Considering that it is from the Wolfram stable, not much of a surprise!

Some of the underlying details (mostly non-technical): https://www.imageidentify.com/about/how-it-works

The function in the Wolfram Language is called ImageIdentify (obviously): http://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/ImageIdentify.html

Yup, we're aware of and working on the orientation issue! Thanks for trying it!

It seems like it doesn't work with illustrations (i.e cartoons, logos, etc). Also, lights seems to confuse the model; for instance, a picture of my son with candle on a birthday cake was identified as "instrumentation" and a picture of me with a light source in the back was tagged as light bulb.

I have tried with two images, one a book in Spanish entitle: Lo mejor de "Fantasy & Science Fiction", another with my watch. In the first one it classified as a machine or something like that, the second is a device. Nothing fancy and very far from what they say in the blog.

R, Python and open software applications are going to be a very fierce contender in machine learning, image recognition, data mining and statistics. I wonder if close source is going to compete with the 5000 packages available in R and in the future more and more people are going to be able to improve on the shoulder of giants.
