Question

In my test, it seems Amazon Rekognition detects First Lady Melania Trump,  
but doesn't detect President Trump.  
  
I can reproduce it with aws cli:  
  
Steps to Reproduce:  
  
President Trump:  
  
$ curl -o trump.jpg https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/President-Trump-Official-Portrait-200x200.jpg  
$ aws rekognition recognize-celebrities --image-bytes fileb://trump.jpg --query "CelebrityFaces\[].Name"  
\[]  
  
First Lady Melania Trump:  
  
$ curl -o flotus.png https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/flotus-200x200.png  
$ aws rekognition recognize-celebrities --image-bytes fileb://flotus.png --query "CelebrityFaces\[].Name"  
\[  
    "Melania Trump"  
]  
  
What could be the cause of this problem?  
I would appreciate if you could suggest possible solutions.

Answer

Hi,  
  
Thank you for your feedback. I confirmed that Mr Trump is a supported person in this model, and that a number of other photos of him did provide positive matches. I've noted that we need to improve support here onto our backlog. Various factors affect feature releases, and we are unable to provide specific release times at this point.  
  
In the meantime, you may also consider creating a face collection (with Index Faces) and searching that directly as an alternate or supplemental approach, where coverage in Recognize Celebrities is not currently where you need it. I see that the portrait photo you provided does have a high similarity match to other images of him, so believe that could be a good approach.
