Love this package. has a bunch of functions for most face recognition, detection and feature extraction purposes. love the readme.md docs for familiarizing with the basic features. PLUS it offers different models(backends) for the tasks which lets you try out a bunch of approach for the same task without writing a custom function
This looks very similar to what ChatGPT would write
I'm curious whether others here are working with supervised dimensionality reduction for face embeddings, particularly using single-task or multi-task learning approaches.
While clustering tends to perform better after dimensionality reduction, selecting the optimal dimensions depends heavily on your specific use case. This makes it more complex than simply applying PCA or t-SNE.
The performance is focused on correctness and the APIs work with individual images. The underlying models can be run with batches, but you need to extract the architecture code to run directly. As a result, while I started with DeepFace, I mostly just used the models.
I somehow miss the time when face recognition was the only "controversial" area of ML/AI.
Very nice package. I used it recently for a project where I needed to detect faces in images as tasks with celery [0]. I wonder if there is an equivalent for OCR.
how accurate is the age detection? i.e. lets say you have someone who looks much younger than their age, would this model be able to detect the persons actual age?
How do you measure positive and negative societal impact of this technology?
I find mobile phone face unlock so useful, giving every citizen the power to use face recognition could be better than a few people, robots that identify someone and give them lifesaving medication are great (but the opposite, robot assassin can also be created). I guess it comes down to good people building good tools. Humans are generally kind and empathetic
Quite curious how no one ever talks about “responsible use of facial recognition” or policies to control the use of facial recognition, as it totally pervades and destroys the ability of a person to remain anonymous, at all.
It’s always curious to me how the peasants always seem eager to facilitate the interests of the monarchs to oppress them rather than their own interests to remain free from control by the narcissistic psychopathy of the ruling class prone to tyranny. What do you do as a peasant once you’ve closed the trap you created and led yourself into? I guess maybe more accurately would be to say that it is the aspirational minor nobility that facilitates the creation of the structure that serves the creation of oppressive, top down structures. It’s an odd human characteristic.
