A note -- if you're linking to arXiv, it's better to link to the abstract (http://arxiv.org/abs/1404.3840) rather than the PDF. From the abstract, one can easily click through to the PDF; not so the reverse. And the abstract allows one to do things like see different versions of the paper, search for other things by the same authors, etc.

If we're going to go that route, linking to the actual paper might be even more appropriate. Even the blog article is only a second hand source. http://arxiv.org/pdf/1404.3840v1.pdf If you read it carefully, there's a caveat about how this particular dataset (recognition of /cropped/ pictures of /unfamiliar/ persons) has relatively low human accuracy (97.5% as opposed to 99.2%), because humans also use other features. That is, there's more work to be done, and facial recognition isn't a "solved" problem yet. All the same, very impressive work. Congratulations to the authors on achieving such…
