debu 28 Report post Posted March 28, 2016 See if IBMs Watson can recognize your imageAn ever-increasing number of companies are using image recognition software in their products. Amazon, for example, filed a patent that will allow customers to pay for goods using just a photo or video of themselves. Now, IBM is showing off its AI software by offering an online demo for people to see how accurate its Watson cognitive computing system is at identifying photos. The demo provides six images to test Watson’s abilities, but the best part is being able to upload your own pictures. The results are offered up as a series of ‘classifiers’ alongside a confidence score for each one. In the horse racing sample image, for example, Watson is 99 percent confident that it shows horses. The system is also pretty good at identifying images as a whole; in this case, it’s 95 percent certain that the photo also shows a race. Developers can train Watson to become better at identifying objects by creating custom classifiers and uploading associated images for it to learn. You can try this in the demo, but you’ll need to upload at least 50 pictures and they won’t be saved once you exit the browser. https://visual-recognition-demo.mybluemix.net Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
