This website is based, in part, on earlier installations and research projects about facial recognition datasets in 2016-2018, which focused particularly on the MegaFace dataset. Since then it has evolved into a large-scale survey of publicly-available face and person analysis datasets, covering their usage, geographies, and ethics. -An academic report and presentation on the findings is forthcoming.
