Recognize Anything: How Big Data Enables Photo Recognition

When you upload photos to Facebook, have you noticed that the website already seems to know who's in them? It's remarkable, and you can give the credit to big data. Face recognition software, like fraud detection and ad matching algorithms, draws on deep libraries of content in order to deliver the correct results. And these data collections are hard at work across the web and in many of your favorite apps. It comes as no surprise that developers have been hard at work on face recognition software since it's an integral part of security programs.
