Thanks for the feedback, I just updated the animation to pause at the beginning and end to make the completions clearer: https://github.com/bamos/bamos.github.io/commit/f6a15285135…

The argument isn't that you use OpenCV: OpenFace also uses OpenCV. However, I think you should target and present your program as being a program that uses face recognition, not as…

OpenFace can optionally use a CUDA-enabled GPU, but it's not a requirement. The performance is almost real-time on a CPU. After detection (which varies depending on the input image…

Thanks for pointing out the 404, I just corrected the link. There's an interesting discussion on lobste.rs from a few months ago about privacy issues and licensing: https://lobste.…

Summary: OpenFace uses fundamentally different techniques (a deep neural network) for face recognition that OpenBR currently doesn't provide. -- As our initial ROC curve on LFW's s…

Thanks for the offer! Our original model `nn4.v1` should perform OK on your data if you're interested in trying to automatically predict people in new images. Training new models i…

Yes, the processing pipeline first does face detection and a simple transformation to normalize all faces to 96x96 RGB pixels. Then each face is passed into the neural network to g…

This depends on what you want to use face recognition for. Maybe I should say more clearly in the README who this project is for. I could have released trained classifiers on 10,00…

Thanks, I'm hosting on a nonstandard port on a server. I put the main page inside a frame hosted on GitHub pages for a better URL, but this broke the links. Fixed now. :-)

I have two minor comments: 1) Linking to the original HN hiring post is helpful, and 2) I'm on a poor internet connection now, and this page took about a minute to load. http://hnh…

How does the speed compare to other compression algorithms?

Another reason for me is the cross-platform compatibility. With git, I'm able to synchronize passwords across OSX and Linux machines, and the features (even copying) work well on b…

How did you select words to compare? Did you have to try many poor combinations before selecting a "good" set?

This year's CVPR has a lot of great papers. In case anybody hasn't seen, a full list's available at http://cs.stanford.edu/people/karpathy/cvpr2015papers/

Shameless plug for one of my side projects to manage reading lists with YAML and GitHub pages: https://github.com/bamos/reading-list
