OpenFace Torch Model Sizes Substantially Reduced from 966MB to 64MB

[Brandon Amos]

Hi OpenFace users,

The original nn4.v1 model is 966MB because Torch

saves many unnecessary buffers with the network.

There's no official way of working around this, but I just found

https://github.com/e-lab/torch-toolbox/tree/master/Sanitize,

which reduces the size of the nn4.v1 model to 64MB!

I've updated nn4.v1 on our storage server to the smaller version:
