The new algorithm, written by Sachin Farfade, Mohammad Saberian, and Li-Jia Li, relies on advances in a type of machine learning called deep convolutional neural network.

The Face Detection Algorithm Set to Revolutionize Image Search The ability to spot faces from any angle, and even when partially occluded, has always been a uniquely human capability.

Face detection software has slowly crept into mainstream use, from Facebook photo tagging to Android phone unlocking, but new research looks set to move the technology on significantly. Scientists ...

Face-mask recognition has arrived—for better or worse New algorithms can police whether people are complying with public health guidance. The practice raises familiar questions about data privacy.

Deepfake videos are hard for untrained eyes to detect because they can be quite realistic. Whether used as personal weapons of revenge, to manipulate financial markets or to destabilize ...
