wmp-face is a Python module for face detection & recognition built on top of dlib's facial recognizer.
This codebase was developed under Wesleyan Media Project - a research group that tracks all election-related advertising to give journalists and political scientists the data and the tools to hold governments and special interests accountable. Mostly notably, wmp-face was instrumental in pre-processing the data used for "Do Women Candidates 'Run as Women' Online?" (Yao, et al.).
