End-of-life for MicrosoftAPIFaceEmotionExtractor #470

Closed emdupre closed 2 years ago

emdupre commented 2 years ago

Following an announcement earlier this year, Microsoft is no longer supporting automatic inference of certain attributes (e.g. emotion, gender) with its facial recognition software. This means that the MicrosoftAPIFaceEmotionExtractor is no longer functional and now returns Exception: Invalid request has been sent. when calling with pliers 0.4.1.

It would be helpful to remove this class from the code base and docs to make it clear that this analysis is no longer possible !

Thank you! I agree. Again, the darn API extractors are such a moving target.
