Microsoft debuts a new breed of app
Microsoft’s Fetch! can actually identify a dog's breed from a photo, be it from the web or snapped with a smartphone, and then provide all the relevant information on it. – AFP/Relaxnews pic, February 12, 2016.Fetch! is a new iPhone app that will help users find the canine companion that's right for them.
More than simply ask users to answer a list of cod psychology questions, Fetch! can actually identify a dog's breed from a photo – be it from the web or snapped with a smartphone – and then provide all the relevant information on it.
This includes what human personality traits best mesh with a specific dog breed's characteristics.
As an added bonus the app can tell a user what sort of dog he or she would be if they were themselves canine.
The app is free and fun but is a serious demonstration of Microsoft's machine learning and image recognition capabilities. Download it from the App Store. – AFP/Relaxnews, February 12, 2016.
