Do you think Springer pays for reviewing? No publisher does. It's all voluntary work by the same people who write the papers. It's the modern day slavery.

For one it uses a numbers of sensors: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208108 But also to generalize to makeup and occlusion and millions of faces you have to do much more. There are hundreds of papers on the subject.

For those who are new to machine learning, this is like duct taping four wheels together and calling it a Lamborghini. Maybe a good start if you want to learn about basics of face recognition, but iPhoneX FaceID keywords here are clickbait.

How adorable. Yelp taking the moral high ground. Once I wrote a negative review for a business describing my personal experience with them. The company first wrote me an email and asked me to remove it, I obviously didn't because every
