Abstract
Disclosed embodiments provide for deep convolutional neural network computing. The convolutional computing is accomplished using a multilayered analysis engine. The multilayered analysis engine includes a deep learning network using a convolutional neural network (CNN). The multilayered analysis engine is used to analyze multiple images in a supervised or unsupervised learning process. Multiple images are provided to the multilayered analysis engine, and the multilayered analysis engine is trained with those images. A subject image is then evaluated by the multilayered analysis engine. The evaluation is accomplished by analyzing pixels within the subject image to identify a facial portion and identifying a facial expression based on the facial portion. The results of the evaluation are output. The multilayered analysis engine is retrained using a second plurality of images.
