Their quick test "rates how well a particular pattern recognition algorithm will work for a given application." And they think that their method can be used in many areas including genetics ...

The limited testing that has been done on these systems has uncovered a pattern of racial bias. But as with any emerging technology, facial recognition is far from perfect.

They argued that, despite massive improvements in deep-learning techniques, federal testing shows that most facial recognition algorithms perform poorly at identifying people besides White men.

Researchers developed an algorithm that scans for faces, but also biases. After testing, it was able to reduce 'categorical bias' by over 60 percent, while performance remained consistent.

Public safety and law enforcement agencies can take advantage of multiple Microsoft technologies to run data through pattern recognition algorithms and predictive analytics tools, Zak says. They ...

Berri and co have tested their algorithm in real time on a set of five videos of a driver taken using a dashboard camera at 15 frames per second with a resolution of 320 by 240 pixels.

The Department of Homeland Security has also found that darker skin challenges commercial facial recognition. In February, DHS staff published results from testing 11 commercial systems designed ...
