So, faces in photos first need to get recognized, so that the software knows there's a face in that picture, where in the picture it is, and what the face looks like (this is expressed as a vector). To aggregate similar faces in groups, the software searches for clusters in the vector space of face vectors. If some vectors are close enough together (simplifying here), then they will be put into the same cluster and appear as photos of one person in the user interface. If you add new photos and there's a face whose vector is close to an existing cluster's vectors, it will be put into the same cluster. This process of figuring out which group a face might belong to is ca…
