Russian emotion recognition software was voted the best


24.03.2017

ntechlab.com Russian company N-tech.Lab developed web service that helps to find people in social networks using their pictures. The special face recognition algorithm has won the EmotionNet Challenge competition for that innovation.

40 teams participated in the competition, hosted by Ohio University. Most of them didn't manage to reach the final round.

After analysis of more than 1 million testing pictures, contestants were to analyze 25,000 face photos to check the level of algorithms' precision and another 25,000 to compare their effectiveness.

The head of N-tech.Lab, MSU graduate Artyom Kukharenko explained that he decided to take part in this competition to know more about new achievements of his colleagues and competitors, and to know what sort of pioneering researches are done in this field worldwide.

Let us remind that two years earlier N-tech.Lab has received the first prize at the international The MegaFace Benchmark contest in US.

FindFace kicked off more than a year ago. During this time, the number of users exceeded 1 million.
