this project aims to use the neural net framework and backpropagation
to learn to detect and recognize frontal, upright images of human faces.
Input images are taken from the at&t database, and can be passed to the learning application
by a directory name. The system will iterate recursively through all images given in the
input directory and train its internal network based on the assumption that all images
are of faces.
Negative training examples are necessary to prevent mis-applied learning of patterns by
the network, and can be specified on the command line along with positive training instances
and test(validation) instances..
