Understanding Deep Face Recognition
Face recognition is a fascinating domain: no other domain seems to present as much value when analysing casual photos; it is one of the few domains in machine learning in which millions of classes are routinely learned; and the trade-off between subtle inter-identity variations and pronounced intra-identity variations forms a unique challenge. The advent of deep learning has brought machines to what is considered a human level of performance. However, there are many research questions that are left open. At the top most level, we ask two questions: what is unique about faces in comparison to other recognition tasks that also employ deep networks and how can we make the next leap in…
