riya
okay so i've spent the better part of my day alpha-testing riya. it's a company co-founded by a buddy of mine and the software they have produced is remarkable. it allows you to search your photos by the people in them, not by the filename. it learns who the people in pictures are and eventually recognizes them and automatically tags them. after uploading a dataset of about 2500 pictures last night, i spent about a half hour training the software and now it's returning results with close to 85% accuracy. i love it. techcrunch does a great review of riya. the software is named after my buddy's daughter who was born recently. i can't wait to meet her. try and get on the testing team as soon as possible. you won't be disappointed.

I think this is going to be a big hit. Probably in one year we will see this technology in probably a lot of stuff. That is cool, to know that I am one of the first to know about it.
excellent blog you have here, will be adding it to my favourites! I have a website on mythical bird art
and such subjects as mythical bird art
with many articles like - If you don't have at least one piece of fine art in your home, then you just have no idea what you are missing out on. Whether an original or reproduction piece, fine art adds warmth, beauty and interest to every room. So why is it that people tend to spend lavishly on furniture, carpets and accessories, but do not provide in their budget for the piece that could be the focal point of the room?
We are indeed fortunate now to have a wide range of fine art available to us on the Internet. In just a few short hours, you can browse museums and galleries around the world to find the fine art painting you love. Reproductions of major artwork are available in several formats, from inexpensive prints to hand-painted oils. All at the touch of a button. You can also find original fine art online, often very inexpensively. Artists who have not yet become famed can exhibit their work at online galleries and reach a much wider audience than would be otherwise possible in smaller bricks and mortar galleries. Bringing a new piece of art into your home is always exciting, but imagine how much more intriguing it would be if it was something you'd discovered for yourself through your own research.
While prints will brighten up a room, you should also consider investing in a real oil painting or another form of original on canvas. Since the Internet allows galleries to show their work to a wide audience with little overhead, real paintings can be had for very reasonable prices. And you'll find the texture and substance of a painting as opposed to a print to be well worth the added expense. Home decor is a challenge for many home owners so the hardest part is not necessarily coming up with the theme, but tying it all together and making all of the colors, textures and themes combine. In order to decorate your home successfully there are a few things for you to consider.
First decide what your budget is. Having a budget will help you apportion money to the right areas and ensure that you have enough to finish the job. Next choose a style and make a plan. Decide the style of theme you want for your room or home decor. Do you want a modern or oriental tone? Once this is established you can pick the colors you want to use. Do you want the room to be calming or energizing? Colors have a very influential impact on our moods and feelings. You can then decide on the furniture and accessories you wish to use. This is a good time to select the art or prints you wish to feature. Make sure that the print is reflective of the theme of the room. Do not buy art just because it ties the colors in the room together. Art is a powerful medium that is used to invoke emotion, feeling, and thought so the emotion the art projects should be aligned with the feeling of the room.
take a look if you get the chance:-)

long time...
have been so busy and atill after so many days i c mushkil posts:)
eid greetings
this rocks :D
if they add stuff picasa has it, they might rule the market :))
sounds very interesting product. can we test it out too?
am I the only one that thinks this stuff is a tad scary?
some day, anyone will be able to find any pictures of you, anywhere on the net...
i've found people in my dataset that have also been tagged automatically even though i didn't train it to do so. this probably means some other alpha testers have the same people in their datasets and riya was smart enough to figure it out.
after that update, i would have to say i agree completely with mushsis....
