@VYRION-Ai yes, you can use YOLOv8 classification for face recognition tasks with your cropped faces dataset. Make sure your dataset is well-labeled with each individual's identity as a separate class. Here's a basic example of how you might train a model on your dataset:

yolo detect train data=your_dataset.yaml model=yolov8n-cls.pt epochs=100

Fine-tune the epochs, model type, and other parameters according to your specific requirements. Good luck with your face recognition project! 🚀
