Deep Face Recognition

GPU-powered face recognition

Offices in Barcelona, Madrid, London, Los Angeles

Crowds, unconstrained

Deep Face Recognition

Large training DBs, >100K images, >1K subjects (Public DBs)

Public models (Inception, VGG, ResNet, SENet…), close to state-of-the-art

Typically, embedding layer (yielding facial descriptor) feeds one-hot encoding

Unconstrained (in-the-wild) environments

Managing imbalance – Data augmentation

• Data augmentation: makes imbalance mitigation much more effective

Managing imbalance – Proposal

Traditional imbalance:

Proposal: IDR(robust to outliers)

Iterative multi-label oversampling:

𝑚𝑎𝑥 𝑋

𝑚𝑖𝑛(𝑋)

𝐷9 𝑋

𝐷1(𝑋)

1. Find most imbalanced label L2. Find most imbalanced category C within L3. Draw random sample from C, replicate

Managing imbalance – Sample training batch

Before oversampling… …and after

HERTA


Managing imbalance

• Results with ResNet 20 (tiny network, for comparison only)• Better with almost 6X less subjects, 2X less images!

10.6K subjects,494K images

1.8K subjects,295K images

HERTA


Sparse embedding

Typically, in deep face recognition: •

What about • ReLU + embedding + one-hot encoding? (e.g. VGGFace)Why more dimensions, if 90% zero?

Larger representation subspace, at expense of computational efficiency•

But can gain it back! • ̴200M comp/s

Conclusions

• Public training / validation DBs: heavily biased at multiple levels• Without balancing, trained models will be biased, too!• Prefer “better data” over “more data”

• Machine Learning vs Machine Teaching

Explainable ML

Designing algorithms to passively train models

Choosing which examplesto show a learner
