Fun With Machine Learning - Learn With Jason

Overview

Dive into a two-hour Halloween special episode where Gant Laborde demonstrates how to leverage machine learning for adding spooky masks to photos using face-api.js, a facial recognition library powered by TensorFlow. Explore the process of implementing facial recognition technology, working with SVG and PNG images, and manipulating CSS for optimal mask positioning. Learn about face detection, model packaging, and error handling while building a fun and interactive application. Gain insights into working with dependencies, optimizing performance, and troubleshooting common issues in machine learning projects. Follow along with the live coding session to create your own facial recognition-powered Halloween mask application, complete with practical tips and tricks from an experienced developer.
