Face Recognition Vendor Test

 The Face Recognition Vendor Test is a standardized way of analyzing the performance of facial recognition software. This test was created to measure how accurately facial recognition systems can detect gender, age, ethnicity, and emotion. Due to the large number of tests available for vendors to take at no cost, it is becoming increasingly difficult for Buyers and Vendors to accurately evaluate vendor performance without manually conducting tests. The goals are to provide a standard test that will be easily accessible by both Buyers and Vendors so that when they engage in future discussions about selection decisions, they can do so on a level playing field with accurate statistics and data. Try out free Face Recognition Vendor Test! https://www.facialverificationtest.com https://www.facialverificationtest.com/fvtv/ This is the first version of this free test. Due to the high quality facial recognition technologies that will be released in 2017, we are excited to bring you this tes...

Cloud computing & virtualization

 If you are looking for a way to generate profits and appeal to the public, your best bet is to open up your business and let people in. Not only will this allow you to find more customers through different avenues, but cloud computing has also made it easier than ever before. That’s because in some cases, if you can't afford the newest computers or servers with all of the features that companies need these days, then cloud computing could be a viable option. This concept is fairly new and still takes some getting used to — nevertheless there are plenty of resources that are viable when it comes down to learning how this whole system works. For businesses that have a lot of data they need to store in a secure place but don't have any room for huge server farms, cloud computing is the perfect solution. Cloud computing has made it possible for businesses of all sizes to take advantage of massive storage and CPU power without having to buy and maintain the hardware themselves. Thi...

Cybersecurity

 Cybersecurity is a topical subject, as the number of data breaches and cyberattacks have increased dramatically in the past few years. In this post, we’ll discuss the topic in-depth. Hopefully by the end you’ll have all of your questions answered and will be better prepared to protect yourself from online identification theft. What is Cybersecurity? Cybersecurity refers to protecting information from being accessed without authorization or as authorized by law such that its integrity and authenticity are maintained. This often includes guarding against hacking and unauthorized access to systems, devices, or networks. Cybersecurity is often associated with national security and protecting government, military, and corporate systems. In recent years, however, it has become increasingly relevant to individuals as well. Cybersecurity touches everyone in some way, as the majority of people have a computer or mobile phone of some sort to access the Internet and store information. Becaus...

Biometrics

 What are biometrics? The technical definition of a biometric is ‘the identifying information of an individual based on their physical or behavioral traits’. Biometrics refers to any unique component that distinguishes one person from another. In the context of the Internet, these traits can be physiological data such as fingerprints, iris scans, and facial recognition. We have collected some of the most useful websites and apps that rose to prominence in recent years that provide educational websites on biometrics. Developers created apps and websites to help people stay secure on the web, but their features were taken advantage of by fraudsters. Here you can find information to learn about biometrics, where to get certified, and tips on how to stay safe online. The following list includes some of the most popular sites that provide educational material on biometrics: 1- Biometrics Development Center 2- Biometric Solutions Blog 3- Biometric Institute 4- Androidbiometric.org Blog 5...

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence has been around since the 1950s with computers, so it's taken a long time for it to be of interest to the general public. But recently, A.I. has become more prominent in various fields such as healthcare and business, where it is providing new solutions and saving lives by acting as an assistant. Artificial intelligence is being used in various ways these days like to help guide money managers contribute funds, coordinate emergency responses through natural language processing and computer vision technologies, create music and recommendations on content that users watch or listen to online, or provide detailed answers about a video game that someone just started playing. "Artificial intelligence" is just a buzzword for a fairly broad range of technologies that involve computer applications that imitate human thinking. At its core artificial intelligence involves software that could perform in a way similar to "the brain." Basically, artif...

Cloud Engineering

 Cloud engineering is an emerging field. It contains a huge range of tasks that can be categorized into the following: architectural design, implementation and configuration of cloud infrastructure and their associated frameworks, automating changes in virtual machines, and deployment on different infrastructures using tools like Terraform. An expert in cloud engineering would typically have a graduate degree in computer science or other related fields such as management, or previous job experience with data centers. Many startups are moving towards this type of approach because it allows them to build their data center from the ground up with agility that is typically not possible when designing from scratch. There are many successful companies who have taken this approach. For example, it was relatively easy for Amazon to design its cloud architecture as it was only one datacenter with a small number of servers, rather than designing their infrastructure from scratch. As a result...

Science

 I think I can safely say that we all love science, or at least enjoy learning about it. But do you know what makes science so fascinating? I bet you don't. So come on in and let me tell you a bit about it! Every year new discoveries are made and new inventions occur, often in the most unexpected places. These discoveries have led to new theories which turn out to be more accurate than the old theories, often times making us go back and change our thinking about things. And sometimes these discoveries are related intrinsically to other fields of study such as chemistry and biology (take astronomy for example). The study of science is often called science, but there are also other fields of study which are called sciences as well. I want to talk about the field of chemistry for a bit, because I think it ties nicely in with what I want to discuss today. Modern science (and this includes chemistry specifically) is built on the idea that we cannot just say that something is possible an...

Internet

 The internet at its most fundamental is a global network of computers, platforms and infrastructures that comprise the systems people use to communicate and share information. The internet has both advanced and transformed everyday life for many individuals, providing opportunities for education, entertainment, employment, social interaction, shopping and more. The development of the internet has had a significant impact on the modern world. “The Internet, a world-wide network of computers…is transforming business, government and society at large…or "cyber culture" - as author Larry Downes calls it - is weaving its way into our lives in myriad ways” (Downes, 2011). The internet is not only changing how people live but also how they interact with one another. According to Varnelis and Hirsch, “the internet has created space for a new discourse and practice of citizenship” (2012). They argue that the idea of “netizenship” challenges conventional notions of nationalism by expan...
