Microsoft Creates awesom Emotion Recognition Tool

In Brief :

 Microsoft has included an emotion recognition tool in its portfolio of application programming interfaces, Project Oxford,which uses culturally- ubiquitous facial expressions to recognize emotions.

Microsoft Creates Emotion Recognition Tool. Upload Your Image and Give It a Try!!!
Project Oxford is Microsoft’s collection of machine-learning application programming interfaces (APIs). It contains several tools, such as a unique kind of spell check that can recognize slang words like “gonna,” brand names, common name errors, and also errors that are more difficult to pinpoint, like the homonyms “four” and “for.” It’s also constantly being updated. New brand names and new expressions are added by the system as they are coined and become popular. Now the tech giant can add emotion recognition to its API portfolio. The technology was introduced in Microsoft’s age and gender guessing website, How-Old.net. This website is designed to guess one’s age and gender when users upload an image of their choice. Editor’s note: To give it a try, and so you could see how it works, I uploaded two images of myself, and I got the same results for each image I uploaded.

       The tech got my gender right; however, I am 30. Not 17. Though, to be fair, I’m often told that I look absurdly young for my age, and people often guess somewhere around 22 or thereabouts, so I suppose we can cut Microsoft a little slack. Although it is sometimes off, to the team working with the tech, it raised questions regarding the potential of computer systems that can make sense of their environment—and now it a has an emotion tool that can be used to create systems that recognize eight core emotional states: Anger, contempt, fear, disgust, happiness, neutral, sadness, or surprise. Emotion Recognition To work, the Emotion API uses common culturally-ubiquitous facial expressions that reflect the eight emotions. The system then uses the company’s cloud-based emotion recognition algorithm to determine how people in a picture were feeling at the moment that the image was taken. Such a technology could be used in marketing to analyze people’s reactions to various products, movies, or food. It could also be used as a consumer tool that offers different options based on what emotions it recognizes in a photo. When interpreting results from the Emotion API, the emotion detected should be interpreted as the emotion with the highest score, since scores are normalized to sum to one. Developers can set higher confidence thresholds to suit their needs. The Project Oxford Emotion API is available now as a free public beta. Note: This one was also a little off. I tried to give it an easy one (surprise). But apparently, Project Oxford thinks that I am judgy and filled with scorn.Scinotech.com -emotion

Emerald Tree Boa

Image
Corallus caninus, commonly called the emerald tree boa, is a non-venomous boa species found in the rainforests of South America. Since 2009 the corallus batesii species is fully recognized and split from the synonymy corallus caninus. If your familiar with Green Tree Pythons you will notice that Emerald Tree Boas look very much like Green Tree Pythons. Emerald Tree Boas grow to about five foot as adults and are a more aggressive species of snakes. The snake usually hangs up in the tree with its head hanging down so it can grab its prey if it approaches from below and then it constricts its prey and kills it before it swallows its prey. The Emerald Tree Boa spends its days up in the branches of a tree and hunts at night. The Emerald Tree Boa will feed on almost any small mammal and also birds. It was once thought that the snake fed only on birds but it is now known that this is not true. It catches its prey extremely fast and its metabolism is much slower than snake...

Zeer Pot help the rural poor in a cost-effective ( desert refrigerator )

Image
Northern Nigeria is an impoverished region where people in rural communities eke out a living from subsistence farming. With no electricity, and therefore no refrigeration, perishable foods spoil within days. Such spoilage causes disease and loss of income for needy farmers, who are forced to sell their produce daily. SOLUTION ??? I would like to introduce you the Zeer Pot (pot-in-pots) “ The pot-in-pot to help the rural poor in a cost-effective, participatory and sustainable way. ” The pot-in-pot consists of two earthenware pots of different diameters, one placed inside the other. The space between the two pots is filled with wet sand that is kept constantly moist, thereby keeping both pots damp. Fruit, vegetables and other items such as soft drinks are put in the smaller inner pot, which is covered with a damp cloth. The phenomenon that occurs is based on a simple principle of physics: the water contained in the sand between the two pots evaporates towards the out...
