The main one is FaceApiJS. One I trained myself (BMI), and the others I just scavenged from existing Github projects. So with most of these I don't know how they were trained, what…

That's difficult to say. You could start with getting to to know an issue and specialising in it. Reading books from academic writers (not the stuff sold at airport bookstores). Re…

You may enjoy this blogpost I made that goes into how the BMI prediction algorithm was developed. It's the only one in the project that I trained myself. https://www.sherpapieces.e…
