Tony: If what you say is true, that explains then. I will still wait for real application of the Luis research then.

No, it’s not. This becomes much more apparent when your search for other people.

The algorithms to recognize a face (a presence of a face, not match it to another face) are becoming fairly common. Even some of the new digital cameras have this feature.

Tony: I thought this is based on Google Image Labeler and Luis Von Ahn research Thanks for the link. Sounds interesting.

Well yes, the filter can only recognize that it is in fact a face, not who’s face it is. The results are still based on the _text_ found in image name, alt tags, or placed near the image.
