   Controllable and Guided Face Synthesis for Unconstrained Face Recognition

   Feng Liu, Minchul Kim, Anil Jain, Xiaoming Liu

   Although significant advances have been made in face recognition (FR), FR in unconstrained environments remains challenging due to the domain gap between the semi-constrained training datasets and unconstrained testing scenarios. To address this problem, we propose a controllable face synthesis model (CFSM) that can mimic the distribution of target datasets ...

   Cluster and Aggregate: Face Recognition with Large Probe Set

   Minchul Kim, Feng Liu, Anil K. Jain, Xiaoming Liu

   Feature fusion plays a crucial role in unconstrained face recognition where inputs (probes) comprise of a set of N low quality images whose individual qualities vary. Advances in attention and recurrent modules have led to feature fusion that can model the relationship among the images in the input set. However ...

   AdaFace: Quality Adaptive Margin for Face Recognition

   Minchul Kim, Anil K. Jain, Xiaoming Liu

   Recognition in low quality face datasets is challenging because facial attributes are obscured and degraded. Advances in margin-based loss functions have resulted in enhanced discriminability of faces in the embedding space. Further, previous studies have studied the effect of adaptive losses to assign more importance to misclassified (hard) examples. In ...
