"Chinese botanists use Microsoft machine intelligence to aid in flower recognition project." "Nearly 2.6 million images were quickly submitted to data storage without any filtration to speak of. Jianlong Fu provided a solution through trial and error, building tools that filtered out bad images and discerned the intricacies of each species of flowers." (Jianlong Fu heads the project at the Institute of Botany at the Chinese Academy of Sciences). "The Smart Flower Recognition System was then integrated with a 20-layer neural network, sifting through the thousands of images submitted. With nearly 800,000 pictures, the engine accurately identified more than 90% of flowers. The achievement is close to the success rate of human botanists."
