Facial Expression Recognition.aux– Ulrike Fischer Jun 20 '19 at 19:48.blgfile still complains about a file name with spaces in it (Facial Expression Recognition). Make sure that no file name involved has spaces in it (your.bibfile and your.texfile) and that you have renamed all instances of the file correctly. Then remove the temporary files (.aux,.bbl,.bcf,-blx.bib) and try again. – moewe Jun 20 '19 at 19:49backend = bibtex,, and bibtex is much less powerfull than biber. If you want to switch: remove this text and setup your editor to call biber instead of bibtex. see https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/154751/biblatex-with-biber-configuring-my-editor-to-avoid-undefined-citations – Ulrike Fischer Jun 20 '19 at 19:55
