Their face detection/recognition technology isn't even that great from my informal tests, I think any graduate student + openCV can come close. the pittpatt one is much better.

Well, I don't care whether its a motivating factor or not. I'm simply not letting it act as a demotivating factor. Looking forward to all the "YC reject: launching xxxx " threads in the coming months!!

Really sux to be rejected. But now I'm more motivated than ever to work on my produt to prove that they made a mistake.

The thing is that this is actually possible with the technology we have these days. Look at some of the works done by Iain Matthews and Simon Baker at CMU here: http://www.ri.cmu.edu/research_project_detail.html?project_i... and you can s

I find http://videolectures.net/ better than academicearth because it also has interesting sessions and talks from conferences, where all the really cutting edge stuff is.

There are a LOT of publications on AI if you look at all the conference papers and journal papers floating around on the net. The field of AI itself is divided up into lots of sub fields such as logic theory, machine learning, language proc

An excellent way to figure this out would be to apply some sort of machine learning technique. Perhaps an Active-Appearance-Model or some other statistical measure to mathematically represent the shape and texture of an "untrustworthy" face

I saw this over at the demo.com website and it seems like a pretty easy and cool solution for video streaming. http://www.vuezone.com/ I'm not affiliated with them in any way.

Facinating! this is pretty awesome. It'll be cool if there's a way to generate synthetic realistic images from this.

I have seen the genetic algorithm demo of mona lisa and its pretty cool. My problem with it is that using genetic algorithm for something like that seems "forced" because there's no real "evolution" involved in it. Would it be possible to u

Very good demo and it also happens to be related to my interests so here's my little analysis. 1, The face detection of this program is more impressive than the face recognition. 2, The detector is able to detect across variaty of poses and

This is the reason why we need a decentralized p2p solution to share files which is: 0) easy to use 1) robust to file pollution 2) give incentive to people to upload instead of them being leechers 3) protects the anonymity of its users Man

One thing that really helped me when I code is to switch to a real "coding font". Wile the default monospace font on OSX (monaco) is fine, I find that my eyes adjusts better to the "proggy clean" fonts (avaiable for free here: http://www.p

Yes, the iRex is prohibitively expensive but if you buy the 1st edition while its on sale, you can get it for around $100 cheaper than that. In the end, I justified the purchase because of the features I'm getting over the other 2 readers.
