A technique of performing machine learning enhanced facial recognition. The technique includes accessing a facial image for a facial recognition target, performing facial recognition on the facial image, making a prediction regarding facial recognition candidates for the facial recognition target, and indicating a measure of confidence regarding the facial recognition performed on the facial image, with the measure adjusted based on the prediction. The prediction may be made based at least in part on a people model that statistically predicts the facial recognition candidates who may be present at a particular location at a particular time, a period model that predicts one or more times that the facial recognition candidates may be present at a particular location, behavioral data that indicates an intention of the facial recognition candidates to be at a particular location at a particular time, and/or actions such as purchasing tickets or registering for an event.
