🔍 Autonomous Learning Details

Quality Validation System

1. Face Count Validation - Prevents mass false positives
2. Individual Quality Assessment - Size, confidence, clarity
3. Cross-Face Consistency - Age distribution, gender bias detection
4. Statistical Outlier Detection - Confidence variance analysis
5. Biological Validation - Eye detection requirement

Data Collection Strategy

model_data/
├── high_confidence/     # Quality predictions for reinforcement
├── low_confidence/      # Uncertain predictions for review
├── rejected/           # Failed predictions as negative examples
├── validated/          # User-confirmed correct predictions
└── model_feedback.db   # Performance tracking database

Adaptive Improvements

• Dynamic Thresholds adjust based on recent performance
• Quality Standards increase when model performs well
• Automatic Recommendations for model enhancement
• Retraining Triggers based on acceptance rate decline

# Quick readiness check
./check_readiness.sh

Performance Analysis

# Get model performance stats
from face_detection_model import FaceDetectionModel
detector = FaceDetectionModel()
dashboard = detector.get_model_performance_dashboard()

print(f"Acceptance Rate: {dashboard['last_7_days']['acceptance_rate']:.1%}")
print(f"Avg Confidence: {dashboard['last_7_days']['avg_confidence']:.3f}")

Troubleshooting

# Check backend logs
tail -f backend.log

# Check frontend logs  
tail -f frontend.log

# Test model loading
