• Resumen

  • A new software has shown that it is possible to take an educated guess at someone's name with just one look at theirface. Andrew Gallagher of Cornell University in Ithaca NY and colleagues used tagged photos from the Flickr Web site to buildup a database of named faces and then trained a computer to recognize the contributing factors. The computer was able to guess the correct name about 4% of the time and with improvements in accuracy, the software could be used to automatically harvest the names from online picture captions to tag the people in the picture.
