**TLDR:** A discriminative representation space that positions face images according to identity similarity.

<p>Face embedding space sits at the center of modern face recognition and verification systems. The goal is to place faces of the same person near each other while separating different identities in vector space. This makes it possible to build biometric systems that are more flexible and scalable than closed-set classification. Threshold design and domain adaptation are critical factors determining real-world performance.</p>
