 <p>Despite the recent termination of the <a href="https://msceleb.org">msceleb.org</a> website, the dataset still exists in several repositories on GitHub, the hard drives of countless researchers, and will likely continue to be used in research projects around the world.</p>
 <p>For example, on October 28, 2019, the MS Celeb dataset will be used for a new competition called "<a href="https://ibug.doc.ic.ac.uk/resources/lightweight-face-recognition-challenge-workshop/">Lightweight Face Recognition Challenge &amp; Workshop</a>" where the best face recognition entries will be awarded $5,000 from Huawei and $3,000 from DeepGlint. The competition is part of the <a href="http://iccv2019.thecvf.com/program/workshops">ICCV 2019 conference</a>. This time the challenge is no longer being organized by Microsoft, who created the dataset, but instead by Imperial College London (UK) and <a href="https://github.com/deepinsight/insightface">InsightFace</a> (CN). The organizers provide a <a href="https://ibug.doc.ic.ac.uk/resources/lightweight-face-recognition-challenge-workshop/">25GB download of cropped faces</a> from MS Celeb for anyone to download (in .rec format).</p>
 <p>And in June, shortly after <a href="https://twitter.com/adamhrv/status/1134511293526937600">posting</a> about the disappearance of the MS Celeb dataset, it reemerged on <a href="https://academictorrents.com/details/9e67eb7cc23c9417f39778a8e06cca5e26196a97/tech">Academic Torrents</a>. As of June 10, the MS Celeb dataset files have been redistributed in at least 9 countries and downloaded 44 times without any restrictions. The files were seeded and are mostly distributed by an AI company based in China called Hyper.ai, which states that it redistributes MS Celeb and other datasets for "teachers and students of service industry-related practitioners and research institutes."<a class="footnote_shim" name="[^hyperai_readme]_1"> </a><a href="#[^hyperai_readme]" class="footnote" title="Footnote 6">6</a></p>
-<p>Earlier in 2019 images from the MS Celeb were also repackaged into another face dataset called <em>Racial Faces in the Wild (RFW)</em>. To create it, the RFW authors uploaded face images from the MS Celeb dataset to the Face++ API and used the inferred racial scores to segregate people into four subsets: Caucasian, Asian, Indian, and African each with 3,000 subjects. That dataset then appeared in a subsequent research project from researchers affiliated with IIIT-Delhi and IBM TJ Watson called <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.01219">Deep Learning for Face Recognition: Pride or Prejudiced?</a>, which aims to reduce bias but also inadvertently furthers racist language and ideologies that can not be repeated here.</p>
-<p>The estimated racial scores for the MS Celeb face images used in the RFW dataset were computed using the Face++ API, which is owned by Megvii Inc, a company that has been repeatedly linked to the oppressive surveillance of Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang, China. According to posts from the <a href="https://chinai.substack.com/p/chinai-newsletter-11-companies-involved-in-expanding-chinas-public-security-apparatus-in-xinjiang">ChinAI Newsletter</a> and <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanmac/us-money-funding-facial-recognition-sensetime-megvii">BuzzFeedNews</a>, Megvii announced in 2017 at the China-Eurasia Security Expo in Ürümqi, Xinjiang, that it would be the official technical support unit of the "Public Security Video Laboratory" in Xinjiang, China. If they didn't already, it's highly likely that Megvii has a copy of everyone's biometric faceprint from the MS Celeb dataset, either from uploads to the Face++ API or through the research projects explicitly referencing MS Celeb dataset usage, such as a 2018 paper called <a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.06210.pdf">GridFace: Face Rectification via Learning Local Homography Transformations</a> jointly published by 3 authors, all of whom worked for Megvii.</p>

 <h2>Commercial Usage</h2>
 <p>Microsoft's <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20180218212120/http://www.msceleb.org/download/sampleset">MS Celeb website</a> says it was created for "non-commercial research purpose only." Publicly available research citations and competitions show otherwise.</p>
 <p>In 2017 Microsoft Research organized a face recognition competition at the International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV), one of the top 2 computer vision conferences worldwide, where industry and academia used the MS Celeb dataset to compete for the highest performance scores. The 2017 winner was Beijing-based OrionStar Technology Co., Ltd.. In their <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/orionstar-wins-challenge-to-recognize-one-million-celebrity-faces-with-artificial-intelligence-300494265.html">press release</a>, OrionStar boasted a 13% increase on the difficult set over last year's winner. The prior year's competitors included Beijing-based Faceall Technology Co., Ltd., a company providing face recognition for "smart city" applications.</p>
