I found an interesting article "challenge to make up Raspberry Pi AI to guess blood type from face photo".
However, the result is rather disappointing -- its accuracy rate is as low as 27.8%, so it does not seem to "guess". The source is a Japanese magazine "Interface" April 2017 issue by CQ Publishing (Japan). Anyway, this is a joyful experiment.
Unfortunately, this article is written in Japanese without English title, I will introduce the overview.
Image data are divided into 128 x 128 areas (pixels), so the resolution is comparatively low (e. g. that of HDTV is 1920 x 1080 pixels).
Disappointed by the poor result, researchers focused on various features such as nose, correcting face images to the front direction, but things did not get better.
I think it is too early to conclude that "there is no correlation between face photos and blood types" in the experiment alone ...
<Reference data>
[Image data] Convert 6000 photos to grayscale 128 x 128 pixels
[Equipments for data learning] i7-4770 / 3.4 GHz / 16 GB (DDR 3) + Amazon cloud GPU (AWS EC 2 p 2. Xlarge parg) + machine learning library dlib
[Equipments for blood type determination] Raspberry Pi 3 / PiCamera (960 × 540 pixels)
[Processing time] About 20 seconds for face detection, about 30 seconds for blood type determination
[Results] The accuracy rate of test data is as low as 27.8%! Thereafter, various measures are taken, but accuracy rates showed little improvement. Researchers finally concluded that "there is no correlation between face photos and blood types."

I have made my English Mobile Site
I have made my English mobile site using Jimdo.
https://abofan-global.jimdo.com/
It is not necessary to handmade from scratch like the old days.
Now using CMS like Jimdo or Wix, and Google translation, making an English website has became much easier.
But, it is still a tough work for me who is not an English native.
My English mobile site is for foreigners, the atmosphere and contents are a little bit different from the original Japanese version.
# In short, expressions are straightforward and pretentious with a lot of data.
It is hard to make everything original, so I have diverted a lot of old contents.
Sadly, my English is so terrible in old contents, especially.
I did quite a bit of reworking ...
Now that I noticed Koreans and Chinese are more enthusiastic about blood-type research. If it goes on like this, they might overtake Japan like the the economy ...

Mr. Fred Wong & Eugenia Wan published a book "Bloody AI Alchemist"
It seems to be quite full-fledged contents and I am expecting very much.
Aauthors are working for an investment bank, and seem to be strong for AI.
Because written in Enlish, it will take time to read, because I am Japanese ...
The authors' site is as follows.

They said that they are currently looking for collaborators.

Three Research Reports of the Middle East and One Indian
I found three research reports of the Middle East for the first time (luckyly, it is written in English).
Perhaps, famous Korean cartoon "RealCrazyMan's Blood Types Comic" was translated into Persian or Arabic ....
#It is exactly what I expect, that the results do not match the other reports.
The reference of the first paper is Mr. Alexander Besher's "You are Your Blood Type," so I am keenly aware of the necessity of transmitting English information.
By the way, these Iranian research reports are not registered in English-language database, somehow.
Is there any reason?
