  53 +It is the responsibility of each section in this document to update the \emph{face-recognition} function and the training data.
  54 +In this way the sections maintain independence, and the algorithm can be changed by inserting, removing, or editing sections of this document.

  69 +We wish to normalize every feature vector to a unit L2 norm, ensuring that they live on a high-dimensional unit sphere.
  70 +Such a normalization has been observed to improve accuracy when comparing feature vectors using a Euclidean distance.
