Northrop Grumman has been developing very sophisticated, state-of-the-art, facial recognition technology for the last 15 years. There are several USA defense contractors that have this technology.
- paloaltokid 6y ago> Northrop Grumman has been developing very sophisticated, state-of-the-art, facial recognition technology for the last 15 years. Yikes, hopefully you're not suggesting that the length of time is a virtue? This may be a stereotype but I thought Northrop Grumman was one of those "attach" defense contractors that do work for years and years but never actually deliver any software.
- gnarbarian 6y agoWould you expect to know about the successful projects for a company who built the yf23? They would be ultra secret.
- catalogia 6y agoI'm confused by this comment. The YF-23 was not a successful project, but it's successful competitor is well known to the public. Furthermore there are successful Northrop projects that are known to the public, for instance the B-2. And the B-2 was shown to the public years before the first operational one was delivered to the Air Force.
- gnarbarian 6y agoHint: the 23 actually won. ;)
- lallysingh 6y agoNo, I remember talking to people in defense research around that time period working on facial recognition. Please take the "sophisticated" and "state-of-the-art" phrases as marketing.
- raverbashing 6y agoYeah I doubt they had RNNs 15 years ago. > "sophisticated" and "state-of-the-art" phrases as marketing^W ways of charging more money
- ganzuul 6y agoThey may have been honing datasets for 15 years.
- tomrod 6y agoWhat is "^W"?
- raverbashing 6y agoGo to a terminal, type a series of words then press Ctrl+w see what happens (not sure if it works on the Windows Shell though)
- kop316 6y agoI think it means "Exclusive or" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%5EX https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%5EX This is why I am thinking that.
- BayesianDice 6y ago^W denotes Ctrl-W, the shortcut to delete the previous word for example originally in Berkley (thanks Wikipedia!) Unix-style terminals (and ^H denotes the control code for backspace, deleting the previous letter). The Jargon File's example shows how these are used for humorous effect: '"Be nice to this fool^H^H^H^Hgentleman, he's visiting from corporate HQ." reads roughly as “Be nice to this fool, er, gentleman...”, with irony emphasized.'
