Facial recognition technology has advanced significantly due to the development of deep learning algorithms. This paper explores deep learning, a branch of machine learning that employs multi-layered neural networks to simulate human decision-making processes in facial recognition. It provides a brief literature review of significant works in various deep learning architectures, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. The core of the study is the implementation of the GhostFaceNets model, an enhancement of GhostNets, which is specifically designed for efficient and accurate facial recognition. By using Ghost Modules, this model reduces computational redundancy in generating additional feature maps through linear operations. An integrated attention mechanism is used in this study to emphasize critical facial features. Additionally, this study also employs the ArcFace loss function to improve class separation accuracy. The VGG2-FP dataset was used to train and evaluate this model and achieved an accuracy of 94.45%. This study contributes to the evolution of facial recognition systems, particularly in constrained computational environments.
