Introduction

This is a web application that accepts an image of a face, analyzes the image, and creates corresponding explainable AI visualizations in order to teach the general public about machine learning algorithms. In addition, it discusses and visualizes the implications of biased models. You can see a static, conceptual version of this application here.

Optional but recommended:

1. Create a virtual environment with the command: conda create -n virtual_env_name python=3.7 or virtualenv -p python3 virtual_env_name
2. Activate your virtual environment by typing: source activate virtual_env_name
