-To visualize the types of photos in the dataset without explicitly publishing individual's identities a generative adversarial network (GAN) was trained on the entire dataset. The images in this video show a neural network learning the visual latent space and then interpolating between archetypical identities within the LFW dataset.

The LFW dataset is so widely used that access to the facial data has built directly into a popular code library called Sci-Kit Learn. It includes a function called `fetch_lfw_people` to download the faces in the LFW dataset.
