Faces recognition example using eigenfaces and SVMs¶
The dataset used in this example is a preprocessed excerpt of the “Labeled Faces in the Wild”, aka LFW:
Expected results for the top 5 most represented people in the dataset:
precision recall f1-score support
Gerhard_Schroeder 0.91 0.75 0.82 28
Donald_Rumsfeld 0.84 0.82 0.83 33
Tony_Blair 0.65 0.82 0.73 34
Colin_Powell 0.78 0.88 0.83 58
George_W_Bush 0.93 0.86 0.90 129
avg / total 0.86 0.84 0.85 282
