A research team at Baidu’s video platform iQiyi has released a new facial recognition dataset named iCartoonFace, Synced Review reports.
The researchers say the anime-based dataset can apply to recognition research, cartoon person modeling, and image classification.
Why it matters: For China’s competitive streaming industry, the use of innovative artificial intelligence applications can prove valuable.
The new dataset demonstrates iQiyi’s efforts to push boundaries in AI research as it looks to improve its animated content offering for users.
Details: iCartoonFace comprises over 68,000 annotated images with 2,639 identities from 739 anime and cartoon albums found online and in iQiyi’s video library.
The researchers also proposed a new “dataset fusion” method to improve performance in cartoon-based facial recognition algorithms.

That parping sound you just heard is Mark Zuckerberg paying attention
Facebook will face a class-action lawsuit with a payout potential of $35bn over how its photo tagging and facial recognition software works.
A US appeal court ruled yesterday that the antisocial network's attempts to bat away the sueball should fall accordingly, opening up Mark Zuckerberg's company to potentially billions of dollars in damages payouts.
Originally filed in Illinois, the class-action case alleged Facebook ignored a local privacy law in the state when it rolled out its facial recognition technology.
The Zuckerborg's lawyers tried to argue that the local federal court had cocked up by letting the sueball roll on instead of throwing it out.
"Because a violation of the Illinois statute injures an individual's right to privacy, we reject Facebook's claim that the plaintiffs have failed to allege a concrete injury-in-fact for purposes of Article III standing.
An engineering student in Illinois has put together a handy map to help pinpoint locations where police are tapped into Ring’s surveillance network.
Ring, a company best known for smart doorbells and home security cameras, has a massive network of these cameras installed, some of which are being used for surveillance purposes by police in certain cities.
Shreyas Gandlur, a senior at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign put together a map of these locations.
At the time, FFTF’s version only included about 50 cities, though more than 225 police departments were currently using the surveillance network.
Adding additional cities came with a little help from Gizmodo.
Ring pre-writes almost all of the messages shared by police across social media, and attempts to legally obligate police to give the company final say on all statements about its products.
Facebook — inarguably the world’s largest facial database — has a lost a federal appeal in a class-action lawsuit that claimed it illegally collected and stored biometric data of millions of users without their consent.
The lawsuit began in 2015 when Illinois-based Facebook users sued the company for violating the state’s Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), which mandates that companies develop a public “written policy” before such data is collected and stored, and establish a retention schedule after which the said biometric identifiers will be destroyed.
Facebook’s contravention stems from its “Tag Suggestions” feature that lets you automatically tag your friends in photos uploaded to the service.
The technology analyzes the details of people’s faces in the photos — the distance between their eyes, their nose, and other features — to create a face template that can be used to identify them in other photos.
The plaintiffs argued the company’s facial recognition feature failed to meet the requirements of the law.
In a 3-0 decision, the 9th U.S.
Facebook this week is facing another privacy induced lawsuit after its attempt to halt legal action was refused by a federal appeals court.
The social networking giant had been sued back in 2015 when Illinois users accused Facebook of violating that state’s Biometric Information Privacy Act in collecting biometric data, Reuters reported.
Facebook is already smarting after the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ruled last month that it has to pay a record $5bn fine for ‘repeated violations’ of its 2012 agreement with the FTC – and matters were not helped by the Cambridge Analytica scandal from 2018.
And now in another legal setback, Reuters has reported that a federal appeals court on Thursday rejected Facebook’s effort to undo a class action lawsuit that claimed it illegally collected and stored biometric data for millions of users without their consent.
Facebook is allegedly in hot water because of its “Tag Suggestions” feature, which allowed users to recognize their Facebook friends from previously uploaded photos.
It is worth noting that Facebook suspended facial recognition for European users eight years ago after the practice was deemed illegal, because it stored biometric data without users’ explicit consent.
Facebook could have to pay yet another multi-billion dollar fine after losing an appeals court decision on Thursday regarding the company’s use of facial recognition data.
The 3-0 decision against the social media giant in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals was over a 2015 class action lawsuit that claimed the company violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, according to court documents.
The Illinois law requires a company’s disclosure when it uses biometric data, which includes face scanning.
Facebook used facial recognition technology in its tag suggestions feature, which recognized people’s faces in photos and suggested you tag their profiles, without user consent.
“We conclude that the development of a face template using facial-recognition technology without consent (as alleged here) invades an individual’s private affairs and concrete interests,” the court stated in Thursday’s decision.
According to Reuters, Facebook could end up paying yet another hefty fine — potentially billions of dollars — if the decision stands, since the facial recognition violation could have affected millions of users.
Facebook is facing exposure to billions of dollars in potential damages as a federal appeals court on Thursday rejected Facebook’s arguments to halt a class action lawsuit claiming it illegally collected and stored the biometric data of millions of users.
The class action lawsuit has been working its way through the courts since 2015, when Illinois Facebook users sued the company for alleged violations of the state’s Biometric Information Privacy Act by automatically collecting and identifying people in photographs posted to the service.
Now, thanks to an unanimous decision from the 9th U.S.
The most significant language from the decision from the circuit court seems to be this:
We conclude that the development of face template using facial-recognition technology without consent (as alleged here) invades an individual’s private affairs and concrete interests.
Similar conduct is actionable at common law.
