Finally got the uploader to work today, and uploaded about twenty more photos. I wanted to test the system a bit, so I uploaded ten pictures of people that I’d already tagged and identified and ten pictures of people who were unknown. I ended up with eleven pictures of people that Riya identified somehow, so I went in to check and see who had been mis-tagged. Sure enough, a picture of my girlfriend’s sister had been tagged with my girlfriend’s name. Does this mean that Riya will have a tough time telling the difference between family members? I doubt it — I put up bunches of pictures of myself and my sisters and it was able to tell the difference between them every time. This might have been a strange occurence, and a singular one at that.
Tara has a post up asking for more ideas for the photosearch, so here’s your chance to get your voice heard! Is there anything that YOU would personally like to see in a photosearch? I like the idea of a location-based search, like finding all photos that were taken at a particular place I’m planning on taking a vacation to, or things like that, but it seems like Tara already has that idea nailed down.

I’d invite you if I could; unfortunately, I have no more power over the Riya alpha than the next guy. Tara is the person to talk to if you want to get involved with the alpha.
