Story of the founding of Shazam Entertainment in London in 2000-2001. Shazam is a music recognition company funded by IDG Ventures and several other investors. In a recent episode, the fictitious tech bros of HBO’s Silicon Valley were all abuzz about a “Shazam for food”—an app that could readily identify any meal in the world, just based on a photograph. (Fans of the show know that the product, SeeFood, didn’t exactly work as advertised.). Ghostlords download for mac.

Australian scientists have invented a new app that can identify all local species of snakes and spiders.

The app works in a similar way to Shazam, which ingeniously tells you which song is playing by listening and matching it. The Critterpedia app, a collaboration between the CSIRO and Data61, uses a photo you upload to match with hundreds of thousands of images from their database. Their artificially intelligent (AI) algorithm can then identify the spider or snake down to the family, genus or species.

“The AI platform considers not only these images, but also additional information, like GPS location,” the CSIRO wrote on its blog.

Who invented shazam

Dr Matt Adcock, a researcher from Data61, who led the Critterpedia project, said the differences between species can be “quite subtle”.

“To teach the platform, hundreds of thousands of images of snakes and spiders were fed into the system. It was a sizeable task uniquely perfect for an AI solution,” he said.

“We need a great deal of training data to adequately identify critters.”

The developers hope the app will educate people and potentially save lives.
