[digiKam-users] Will tagging baby, young and old versions of the same person confuse the classifier?

[Michael Moore]

I have family photos that comprise baby through adult photos of family members.

Teenage and adult faces look different enough, and baby faces look very much different – at least to me.

Is tagging the same person across their full lifespan going to confuse the face classifier? Should I be splitting these into multiple tags instead like Grandpa – baby, Grandpa – Young, Grandpa – Old or something like that?

It's possible, but I would tag them anyway with the same tag. If it's smart
enough, the recognition engine should learn to "generalize"
(https://www.britannica.com/topic/generalization) the faces for that person.

Thanks Marc, that's what we'll do then.
