There are some faces in my library I'm just not interested in tagging. How should I deal with them? Should I click the X on the box around the faces? My concern is, doesn't that tell the software "this isn't a face", which could potentially impact the training of the software, and confuse it? Or does it not matter?

If its not a face, you can just delete them. If its a face of a person you don't know or don't care to tag, you can either delete them, or leave them there.

We're looking into adding an "ignore" button for this case though.

If you're suffering from OCD, you can create a tag called "The others" or "People I dont care about enough to tag", or whatever, then tag all those faces to that tag.

Also, currently the software cannot be "trained" to recognize faces...that is up to you to to tell the software who is who. As soon as possible we'll be adding this ability though. For now it doesn't matter.
