If you are on the internet, you’ve probably heard of this latest fad, The 10-Year Challenge, or the 2009 vs. 2019 Challenge. It’s simple, you post an old photo from 2009 next to a recent photo taken in 2019 and give it a nice caption. Somewhat like this ?Same old Salesforce, just 10x bigger and better ?While people are going nuts posting their 10-year challenges, data scientists are happy that they found a golden data set to train their facial recognition algorithms. Jokes apart, on a serious note I started wondering what if SaaS took the 10-Year-Challenge.. Presenting to you “The SaaS 10-Year Challenge”Let’s look at some interesting trends and understand how far we came across as an industry!From “selling software” to “serving customers”Back in the day if you were a SaaS company, you were (...)

He wasn’t there again today, I do wish he would go away How much like a face does an image have to be, to trick the standard Voila-Jones facial recognition algorithm ? Not very much, it turns out. Two researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, have spoofed the algorithm into recognising a handful of dots, barely recognisable as an image, as a human face.

The site categorizes these unwitting volunteers into personality types, using a #facial_recognition algorithm, so you can search for someone in your general area who is “easy going,” “smug” or “sly.”
