Agreed. Just giving their algorithm a fancy name doesn't mean that they've come up with something signficantly better than the ideas in the countless papers in Computer Vision... the only evidence for that seems to be the 15M they just raised (but for that it seems to be enough if you have a good implementation with near state-of-art performance and a workable business idea. Or is it?)
