Ever wanted to implement facial recognition or verification into your application?
In this series you'll learn how to build a deep facial recognition application to authenticate into an application. You'll start off by building a model using Deep Learning with Tensorflow which replicates what is shown in the paper titled Siamese Neural Networks for One-shot Image Recognition. Once that's all trained you'll be able to integrate it into a Kivy app and actually authenticate!
In Part 5 you'll go through how to:
1. Set Up a Loss Function
2. Set Up an Optimizer
3. Build a Custom Training Step
4. Create a Training Loop
5. Train the MODEL

Chapters:
0:00 - Start
0:21 - Explainer
1:15 - Tutorial Kickoff
3:17 - Setup the Loss Function & Optimizer
5:40 - Establish Checkpoint Function
8:52 - Build the Train Step Function
23:22 - Build the Training Loop
27:26 - Train the Model
