PornHub Uses Computer Vision To ID Actors, Acts In Its Videos (techcrunch.com)
Baron_Yam shares a report from TechCrunch, which details PornHub's use of machine learning to ID actors and acts in its videos: The computer vision system can identify specific actors in scenes and even identifies various positions and attributes. While it is obviously very difficult to describe the feature set for a family audience, the system can identify individual performers in real time -- in the demo here it recognizes one performer even from the side -- and it can also identify sex acts. Facial detection is nothing new, even for mobile devices, but this system goes one step further by categorizing videos and images based on various attributes. This means you'll be able find favorites by name or characteristics, a feat that once require prodigious amounts of data entry.
"So far we've used the model on about 500k featured videos which includes user submitted and we plan to scan the whole library in the beginning of 2018," said Price. "Very shortly, the technology will also be used to detect various sex positions / categories and be able to properly tag them as well."

Now all they need to do is develop an App where you upload a picture of a girl you took a picture of and it finds the closest porn match! = $
Porn! The driving force of innovation on the internet!
Porn has always led the industry. Always.

rediculous.
to the term "facial detection".
I'm sorry, but your opinion seems to be wrong.
"... the system can identify individual performers... and it can also identify sex acts."
So it can do facial detection and, um, facial detection?
Dear Slashdot: next time you want to mess with the site, add a rich-text editor for comments.
That rule refers to porn about things; this is merely a thing about porn. But lemme help you out there:
He rubbed his eyes, wondering what time it was. Suddenly the lights came on, blinding. Billy fell out of his chair in surprise, and heard Jenny exclaim "Oh, so sorry! I didn't know someone would be in the PornHub office this late. I'm just here to clean". Rolling onto his belly, Billy strikes a sexy pose, and says with a wink "It's okay, you might actually be able to help me out. See, I'm writing a system to detect various kinds of sexual acts and poses, and, well, it needs training data".
And I was getting so good at recognizing actresses, too!
They have even taken over watching porn now.

Science Marches On (driven by the unquenchable desire for more boobies)
What a time to be alive.
Just cruising through this digital world at 33 1/3 rpm...
Probably because they don't sell it in more then 3X large.
lucm, indeed.
