FaceThink | 德麟科技

FaceThink was a startup focused on Affective Computing, providing emotion recognition APIs and SDKs. Its core tech was led by founder Yang Songfan (PhD, UC Riverside), a winner of the 2011 IEEE Emotion Recognition Challenge.

• Current Status: The company is currently Deregistered. Its team and assets were likely acquired or absorbed by its investor, TAL Education Group, to develop internal AI teaching systems (e.g., "Magic Mirror" for classroom attention monitoring).
• Legacy Tech: specialized in "Attention Analysis" and "Emotion Tracking" to quantify student engagement in classrooms.

FaceThink (德麟科技) 曾是一家专注于情绪计算的初创公司，提供情绪识别API和SDK。其核心技术由创始人杨松帆（UC Riverside博士）领导，曾在2011年IEEE情绪识别挑战赛中获奖。

• 当前状态: 该公司目前处于注销 (Deregistered) 状态，其技术团队和资产极有可能已被投资方好未来 (TAL Education Group) 收购或吸收，用于开发好未来的内部AI教学系统（如“魔镜”课堂专注度监测）。
• 历史技术: 曾主打“专注度分析”和“情绪追踪”，用于量化学生在课堂上的听讲状态。

FaceThink positioned itself as an "Enabler of Educational Affective Computing." After receiving investment from TAL, its market presence vanished as it pivoted to an internal R&D role. This reflects a typical fate for Chinese AI startups: Being swallowed by giants to serve specific vertical scenarios (like K12 tutoring), rather than surviving as independent general-purpose scientific tools.

FaceThink 曾将自己定位为“教育情感计算的赋能者”。在被好未来投资后，其市场声音迅速消失，转为内部研发部门。这反映了中国AI创业公司的一种典型命运：被巨头吞并以服务于特定垂直场景（如K12辅导），而非作为独立的通用科学工具存在。
