![]() These three services are now available as a public beta. The project also features a vision API for automatically categorizing images and creating smart image crops that always put the subject into the center of the cropped images. ![]() Other tools include speech recognition and over time, the service will be able to help developers understand their user’s intent. Right out of the box, this API also offers face detection in images, face verification to check whether two faces belong to the same person, and the ability to find similar-looking faces. Much of what’s available through the service today is based on modern deep learning techniques the company worked on over the last few years. By default, the service will try to figure out what the user’s age is and give that information to developers.Īs Ryan Galgon, a senior program manager on the Oxford project at Microsoft Technology and Research told me at Microsoft’s Build developer conference today, Oxford and the age-detection project was the result of a major collaboration between different groups inside of Microsoft. The new APIs also allow developers to add face detection and recognition features to their apps. ![]() How-Old uses some - but not all - of the new developer services that are part of “Project Oxford.” This site lets you upload photos of faces and then it automatically figures out how old the person in that photo is. It’s a cool demo - and works reasonably well (though as expected it makes its fair number of mistakes). It’s best to take its results with a grain of salt, but while Microsoft’s demo is interesting, the use case for this is probably more along the lines of trying to figure out whether an images features a child or adult, for example. ![]() Microsoft quietly launched a set of new machine-learning APIs in beta under the “ Project Oxford” moniker yesterday and today it’s demo for this service went viral. ![]()
