The deep neural network (DNN) model produces the feature representation
of faces.
We provide pre-trained models trained with about 500k images that
can be used to train new face classifiers as shown in
[Demo 3](http://cmusatyalab.github.io/openface/demo-3-classifier/).
Training a new DNN model is for advanced users and should be done
with large datasets (>500k images) to improve the feature representation.
