Dear Facebook, What is the performance of your face recognizer? Thanks!
As far as I can tell, Facebook must have one of the largest collection of images with face tags. I can’t imagine any Facebook employee with even a few weeks of a machine learning course under their belt hasn’t tried to train a model to perform face recognition on their data.
Does anyone know of publications using this proprietary data? I mean the whole thing, not just samples we all have access to in our local networks.
A few more questions for those with the data:
- how much does the social network data help in recognizer performance? other profile data?
- if you suppress all image data for an individual, can you still recognize them with non-random accuracy?
- can you infer any of the structured content in a profile from image data?
- have any companies or government organizations asked you for access to this data?
No need to share the data, just the results.
UPDATE: Facebook (now?) has the following Privacy setting,
