Facial Recognition Technology..!!!

Ever wonder how your photo app can guess who's in your pictures from Saturday night? It's relying on faceprints, the unique feature that technology uses to recognize individuals. Faceprints are determined by nodal points such as the distance between your eyes and the width of your nose.

Unique to all here it's why ??

Every human being is unique. Science tells us this in the form of DNA and fingerprints and, among other things, faceprints. In much the same way that your fingerprint is identified by unique papillary ridges (the patterns made by the ridges of your skin), your faceprint is identified by nodal points, or, as described in Evidence Technology Magazine, "the different peaks and valleys that make up facial features." Every individual has about 80 nodal points, which include features like the distance between the eyes, the depth of the eye sockets, the width of the nose, the length of the jawline and the shape of the cheekbones.

Why we should care??

You have faceprints to thank for plenty of cool technology — like how Facebook suggests who to tag in your photos— but they serve an even more important technological purpose: keeping people safe. Law enforcement agencies often employ facial recognition software (which relies largely on faceprints) to identify criminals and fugitives, and, in the future, could even be used to screen travelers at U.S. ports of entry in airports. But critics say that in some cases, the technology goes too far. Facebook, for example, claims that it's facial recognition software is 97.35% accurate, and some people are not so thrilled about that. In fact, as of 2016, the social media giant is facing a lawsuit regarding its use of faceprints. "Plaintiffs in the case are concerned on a number of fronts," explains Quartz. "Facebook could be selling identifying information to retailers or other third parties. More importantly, they worry that biometric data is just as susceptible to theft, hacking, and the long and invasive arm of law enforcement as other types of data."

A Supercomputer Knows What Flavors You Like Better Than You Do

You probably feel like you have a good idea of what food you like and what you don't. Turns out, you might actually enjoy flavor combinations (strawberries and jalapeno!?!) that you would never have thought to try. Enter, supercomputers.

For those of us who can't stand anchovies, watching a friend devour one is confusing at best, disgusting at worst. But we all have different taste buds, and they're incredibly complex. Whether or not we like the food we eat is the result of a combination of factors: taste, flavor, smell, texture, and even temperature. Taste and flavor, for example, are surprisingly different. Taste refers to the five taste sensations we can experience: sweet, sour, salt, bitter, and umami. Flavor, on the other hand, is about the entire experience of how we feel when we taste. While our tongue provides the dominant means by which we taste, our sense of smell accounts for up to 80% of how we experience flavor. So flavor is determined by a combination of taste and smell, which in turn is determined by the ingredients in our food and how it's prepared. In other words, flavor is actually something of a mathematical equation, and it's possible to imagine personal equations for our individual likes and dislikes.

This is exactly how the supercomputer IBM Chef Watson approaches taste. IBM Chef Watson, "read up on the chemical composition of hundreds of different ingredients and analyzed some 10,000 recipes from Bon Appétit," according to a January 2016 IBM blog post on the supercomputer. "By combining that data and detecting certain patterns, Chef Watson has learned to suggest up to four different ingredients that blend together seamlessly. Four doesn't sound like much, until you realize that adds up to about one quintillion possible combinations."

How you can try it?

Want to see how IBM Chef Watson can help you make the most of your favorite treat? Bear Naked Granola has teamed up with IBM Chef Watson, enabling hungry snackers to create adventurous and delicious custom granola combinations. First, you choose from over 50 ingredients and spices to customize your own granola recipe. Next, IBM Watson will tell you if your ingredient choices work well together, measuring the combination's "synergy score." Finally, you feast! (On chocolate granola with bourbon flavor, pretzel and cashew, no less.)

What is cloud meant actually in cloud computing??

You might know of "the cloud"—that nebulous technology term that refers to a place where stored files are accessible from virtually anywhere—in terms of where you keep your music, photos, and other media to avoid filling up your phone's internal memory. And that's right—but the cloud is much, much bigger than that.

               

   Businesses around the globe also rely on the cloud. That became immediately apparent on February 28, 2017, when Amazon Simple Storage Service, A.K.A. Amazon S3, went down, causing service outages on a ton of different websites including Netflix, Airbnb, Twitter, and Slack. Amazon S3 provides web hosting, file storage, and backup services for more than 1 million clients, making it one very big example of a cloud service.
