Do you have a phone that you can unlock with your face? Have you ever wondered how that works? Have you ever wanted to build your own face recognizer? With Python, some data, and a few helper packages, you can create your very own. In this project, you’ll use face detection and face recognition to identify faces in a given image. In this tutorial, you’ll build your own face recognition tool using: Face detection to find faces in an image […]

Probability distributions describe the likelihood of all possible outcomes of an event or experiment. The normal distribution is one of the most useful probability distributions because it models many natural phenomena very well. With NumPy, you can create random number samples from the normal distribution. This distribution is also called the Gaussian distribution or simply the bell curve. The latter hints at the shape of the distribution when you plot it:

Watch Now This tutorial has a related video course created by the Real Python team. Watch it together with the written tutorial to deepen your understanding: Using Python’s pathlib Module Working with files and interacting with the file system are common tasks for Python developers. Some cases may involve only reading or writing files, but sometimes more complex tasks are at hand. Maybe you need to list all files of a given type in a directory, find the parent directory […]
