Yeah, I uploaded my high school graduation photo and it guessed 27. Guess it
weighs facial hair a bit too heavily.

Looks like this is a demo for the Microsoft Azure ML. The main value-add here
seems to be integration with the rest of Microsoft's technology suite, with
its visualization, live streaming stuff, etc. For the actual age/gender
estimation, I'd be curious to see if it's much better (or better ta all)
compared to OpenBR ([http://openbiometrics.org/](http://openbiometrics.org/)).

They should really run this against a bunch of photos from a dating site to
measure the difference between the claimed age and guessed age and then
compare to the result from whatever training set they used. I'm guessing they
would get a bimodal distribution for dating site photos -- some people
claiming to be younger than they are, and some people giving their actual age
but using very old photos.

I tried it with three people all age 24. The ages I received in response were:
41, 33, and 22. It seems like beards strongly influence the result.

I'm at a family thing so just tried it on about 5 people in a row. My two
daughters it got 100%. My mother in law was guessed to be 10 years younger
than she is (she was happy). My father in law was spot on (early 60s). This is
pretty impressive. (I should note that it was VERY bad with dark/poorly lit
shots with the eyes hard to see so we moved to a naturally lit space.)

From one photo it guessed 24, from another it guessed 52, both less than my
true age. I'm sure it will improve, but that's not very impressive.

Having said that, assuming it's fully automated, it is actually impressive
that it should be attempting anything like this at all. Not that many years
ago it would have been completely infeas
on all my photos. It's the beard, I guess.
