A New Web App (By Microsoft) Guesses Your Age And Gender
At its BUILD conference, Microsoft showed off a tiny tool that guesses your age based on a photo. The app is essentially a demo to show case capabilities of Azure.
All you need to do is upload a photo and the app will analyze your face to guess your age and gender. In my tests, the app overshot by far too much, however the second time it slightly improved on the approximation.
In a detailed blog post, Microsoft wrote: his may be hard to believe but it took a couple of developers just a day to put this whole solution together, starting with the pipeline from the web page to the Machine Learning APIs to the real time streaming analytics and real time BI. This turned out to be a great example of the power of Azure services. The key components of this solution are:
- Extracting the gender and age of the people in these pictures.
- Obtaining real time insights on the data extracted above.
- Creating real time dashboards to view the above results.
