FaceNet

Introduction

Face recognition is one of the most important applications of image processing and analysis in today’s world. It is an incredibly difficult task to build an automated system which is comparable if not better than the human ability to recognize faces. Human beings…

Focal Loss Demystified

I came across the term ‘Focal Loss’ while reading about the iterations of the object detector Yolo. At first I brushed past it treating it like another loss function which is an extension of an entropy loss. However, when I tried to study it a bit in-depth, I found a shortage of articles…
