Description

Let's say I am using face recognition for security purposes. Then if someone wants to access , we take his pic and find the encodings and have to match them up against all of the encodings in database?

If we have a knn classifier with encodings in the database , everytime a new user registers shouldn't we recreate knn ?

How fast is knn compared to doing all the n matchings possible? (if there are n encodings in the databse)

No file, test, or entry point is identified; first clarify the expected behavior and performance goal, then define what an actionable change and its completion criteria would be.
