Machine Learning is Fun! Part 4: Modern Face Recognition with Deep Learning

Let's tackle this problem one step at a time. For each step, we'll learn about a different machine learning algorithm. I'm not going to explain every single algorithm completely to keep this from turning into a book, but you'll learn the main ideas behind each one and you'll learn how you can build your own facial recognition system in Python using OpenFace and dlib. The first step in our pipeline is face detection. Obviously we need to locate the faces in a photograph before we can try to tell them apart!
