POPSRobot Teaches Itself to Smile To begin teaching the robot, the researchers stuck Einstein in front of a mirror and instructed the robot to “body babble” by contorting its face into random positions. A video camera connected to facial recognition software gave the robot feedback: When it made a movement that resembled a “real” expression, it received a reward signal.

POPSTechnology tunes into our emotions Seems like they're trying to give computers 'intuition.' Still many of our emotions are easy for other people to pick. There may be a distinction between Florid, and subtle emotional behavior. And computers will never be able to account for the exceptions that will arise, but it's all part the education. Provided they are always a supplement to human judgment rather than a substitute. Will they ever be able to win at poker?

POPSChina tracks citizens Wow, looks like china have a guinea pig city for their id cards. This goes to prove that id cards are now a global must. Interesting to note that they are "planning" to have credit histories on the card. People need to think critically about these type of programs which are being rolled out across the globe. Why are they being put in place? Fighting crime and "terrorism" are the de-facto reasons given. You'd be a fool to think that was the primary reason and a bigger one to believe that it is the primary reason. A good shepherd always knows where his sheep are and what they are doing. What a nice fuzzy feeling.

POPSCool Site - Face Recognition and Genealogy The Rest of the Clips: MyHeritage.com automatically learns from every new face it is taught, so after a few examples it will recognize all your family and friends. It can be set to auto-tag faces recognized in high probability Associating faces with family trees is great fun. After doing so your family and children can click any face in any photo to see all photos of that person, or the family tree of that person, or their own family relationship with that person MyHeritage.com has sophisticated algorithms that facilitate the use of face recognition for genealogy: it recognizes faces in different stages of peoples' lives and uses additional photo meta-data such as dates and places to improve the accuracy of face recognition
