These photos are matched too well, and I suspect he did it manually. Some of the train photos are so bad, there's no way they got automatically recognized.
Not to mention the resources you would need just to get the data on 280 million users, let alone train a neural net on it, and make it work with a 70% success rate.
I think it's a viral way to get app installs. The app reviews are really bad btw, it doesn't work.
- egjerlow 11y agoI agree that this seems very far-fetched. From what I know about facial recognition (admittedly very little) for an algorithm to be able to recognize these profiles in such different conditions as displayed in the article seems very unlikely. Incidentally, is there anyone who could ELI5 how picture data like this is treated in order to run these algorithms on it?
