Enhancements

🚀 VGG-Face Model Structure Update: A significant change has been made to the model structure of the VGG-Face model. The last layer, originally with 2622 output nodes for classifying identities, has been replaced. The model now utilizes its early layer, featuring 4096 output nodes. This modification is backed by experiments demonstrating an impressive accuracy improvement of nearly 6%. PR-948

💡Type Hints Added: Type hints have been introduced for both function arguments and return types in DeepFace functions. This enhancement provides improved clarity and documentation, making it easier for developers to understand and utilize the functions effectively. PR-922, PR-934

🛠️Unit Test Refactoring: The unit testing structure has undergone significant improvements. Previously, there was a single long-running unit test, but now, the tests have been modularized into multiple units. This refactoring enhances test manageability and granularity, allowing for more focused and efficient testing of individual components. PR-932

Bugs
