<p><em>Labeled Faces in The Wild</em> (LFW) is "a database of face photographs designed for studying the problem of unconstrained face recognition<a class="footnote_shim" name="[^lfw_www]_2"> </a><a href="#[^lfw_www]" class="footnote" title="Footnote 1">1</a>. It is used to evaluate and improve the performance of facial recognition algorithms in academic, commercial, and government research. According to BiometricUpdate.com<a class="footnote_shim" name="[^lfw_pingan]_1"> </a><a href="#[^lfw_pingan]" class="footnote" title="Footnote 3">3</a>, LFW is "the most widely used evaluation set in the field of facial recognition, LFW attracts a few dozen teams from around the globe including Google, Facebook, Microsoft Research Asia, Baidu, Tencent, SenseTime, Face++ and Chinese University of Hong Kong."</p>
<p>The LFW dataset includes 13,233 images of 5,749 people that were collected between 2002-2004. LFW is a subset of <em>Names of Faces</em> and is part of the first facial recognition training dataset created entirely from images appearing on the Internet. The people appearing in LFW are...</p>
<p>The <em>Names and Faces</em> dataset was the first face recognition dataset created entire from online photos. However, <em>Names and Faces</em> and <em>LFW</em> are not the first face recognition dataset created entirely "in the wild". That title belongs to the <a href="/datasets/ucd_faces/">UCD dataset</a>. Images obtained "in the wild" means using an image without explicit consent or awareness from the subject or photographer.</p>
