And recent research suggests that the algorithms behind facial-recognition technology may perform worse on precisely this demographic. Facial-recognition systems are more likely either to ...

A new study from the National Institute of Standards and Technology confirmed what other research has previously shown: Many facial recognition algorithms perform better on white people than on ...

In 2005, the firm began to expand the product, adding face recognition tools developed by outside vendors. When one of these subcontractors develops an algorithm for recognizing faces, DataWorks ...

“That’s a relatively simple adaptation of a lot of standard object recognition algorithms out there,” says McCormick. As it’s fed more images, the tool will become more accurate. The next ...

His team of researchers, who are working to reduce racial bias in facial recognition algorithms, has found that skin tone is not the only factor: the technology equally struggles to identify a ...

When detectives obtain useful video in an investigation, they can provide it to the Facial Identification Section, of the Detective Bureau. An algorithm makes a template of the face, measuring the ...
