Tech Talk: What-Dog.net

From the minds of Microsoft's Project Oxford behind HowOld.Net and TwinsOrNot.net brings What-Dog.net. Utilising artificial intelligence powered by new machine learning technology, the application enables identification of objects to project an image that resembles the closest to a breed of dog.

There are laughs to be had when playing about with this app as it distinguishes what breed it is that your dog or yourself would be. It may not come up with the desired result and pictures of one person can yield different results, so there is a in-built feedback feature where people can submit the photos that they used in the application to help improve it. Not only does the breed come up, it'll also come up with the personalities.

First up is Ed the Golden Retriever:
First pic of me comes up with the German Shepherd Dog:
With a slight variation comes up with Labrador Retriever:
Don't have a dog, so we have... Silver the cat:
Give it a spin yourself and see how it goes with friends, family and yourself at What-Dog.net or download the Fetch! app on iOS, which is developed by Microsoft Garage.
