Inspiration
We all had situation, where watching a movie, we saw an actor, which looks very familliar, but you cannot remember his name. I developed telegram bot to solve this problem
What it does
Recogizes celebrity by its photo. My database has around 4000 different celebrities, the only thing you need it to press "/photo" button and send bot the photo. After waiting for 5-10 seconds bot sends you information about the person
How we built it
1) I took telelgram bot API from bot named "Botfather" 2) Developed algorithm that recognizes the person by his face 3) Made UI for the bot and integrated the algorithm into telegram bot
Challenges we ran into
First versions of face-recognizing algorithm had low accuracy and used a lot of memory
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Development of the algorithm that can recognize person by his face. I proud of this accomplishment because I had small experience with classification problems and its first time, when I used neural network in real-world problem
What we learned
1) How does neural network works 2)Face recognition algorithm
What's next for Celebrity Recognizer bot
Expanding the database of celebrities
