> Hi Jonathan,
> Yes, many, many things have changed.  First, we've introduced 2 new models
> in 8.5.0.  YuNet is now the preferred face detection model.  It is much
> faster than YOLO and SSD.  Second, we have a new face feature extraction
> model called SFace.  SFace is faster and more accurate than OpenFace for
> extracting the face vectors from the thumbnail (which should be generated by
> YuNet).  Next, we've significantly modified the KNN classifier to reduce
> both false positives and false negatives. While the new classifier is
> slightly slower, the performance enhancements of the detector and extractor
> make the overall process much faster and more accurate. Finally, there are
> several other minor changes in the face pipeline to improve performance.

> well-known Labeled Faces in the Wild dataset.  I have a good baseline to use

> With YuNet, SFace, and the updated classifier, I'm getting detection

> Overall, the new models are showing much better t-SNE clusters when data

> marginal clustering at best.

> The most important pieces are:
> 1. you are using YuNet for face detection
> 2. you are using SFace for recognition
> 3. You have re-trained the face DB after changing those settings

That sounds really good.  I have a huge collection, do you want me to help you
test / build anything?
