Course overview
Face recognition, or facial recognition, is one of the most common artificial intelligence and machine learning applications across all sectors. The course will show you how to build a basic face recognition application using support vector machines (SVM) with the scikit-learn (sklearn) library. Then it introduces you to a different approach to the problem using convolutional neural networks (CMM) with the TensorFlow library.
The first part of the course deals with downloading, previewing, and classifying a database of pictures of faces. Then it looks at how to build, flatten, and train machine learning models that a Python program can use to recognise human faces.
This course can be started at any time and is available now.
