Once that process is seeded, you can start to ask it which of those 2 piles it would sort a new picture into. Often it's not too good at first, so you seed it more and more until it starts to show reliable results.
Not sure if I'm misreading you, but you can definitely teach it what an eye, a mouth, a nose... looks like and then let it tell you the relative distance. Smartphones and webcams can already do that. Facebook does it (or did it) to auto-tag people in pictures.
I wouldn't mind reading the paper if it's available anywhere, but unless this is verified by independent researches I'm not giving it too much credibility.
