This depends on what you want to use face recognition for. Maybe I should say more clearly in the README who this project is for. I could have released trained classifiers on 10,000 celebrities, but I focused the projects towards providing an easy way to train new classifiers with small amounts of data. I think this direction allows for more people to use and benefit from the library.

For example, check out our YouTube video of a demo training a classifier in real-time with just 10 images per person at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZJOTRkjZA4. This demo is included in the repo and the README has instructions on running it.

Also note that there is a distinction between training the neural network, which extracts the face representations, from using the features for tasks like clustering and classification.
