AlgoFace, Inc. [1] has been granted a patent by the The US Patent Office (USPTO) for their Neural Network System that enables facial image search through text in real-time.
Taleb Alashkar, Principal Investigator of this patent and the CTO of AlgoFace said “This disruptive technology will open the door for numerous applications such as programmatic advertising, e-commerce recommendation engines and accurate search engines for face photos to name a few”.
Facial image search engines used to be dependent on massive amounts of data labeling, think tagging a photo with certain characteristics. As such, search results were limited to how images were labeled. With AlgoFace’s Neural Network System patented technology, images can be found with text-based characteristics without labeled data, and also on live video feeds.
