摘要
En 中文
Recent advances in face recognition mostly concentrate on designing more discriminative loss functions or adding normalization on features/weights to make a single feature more accurate. In this work, inspired by the frequently used multi-patch ensemble method for face recognition and part-based models for person re-identification, we propose a novel training strategy to enhance the discriminability of deeply learned feature from another perspective, namely learning with dense supervision. The main idea is to apply multiple classification losses on top of multiple component features extracted from a single network. Ideally, each component feature is expected to be accurate and have low correlation with the others. To this end, we first design a metric called feature consistency to evaluate the correlation between one component feature and the others, which is defined as the sum of distances between one component feature and the others, where the distance here is measured with KL divergence between corresponding softmax probabilities. Then we use feature consistency to select which component features to sample for one learning pass by importance sampling. The dense supervision significantly outperforms the single supervision baseline and even performs on par with its multi-patch ensemble counterpart which has much more parameters (9x). Our experimental results match state-of-the-art performance on LFW, YTF, MegaFace and surpass the others on LFW BLUFR and VGGFace2 pose protocol, thereby achieving state-of-the-art. Specially, results on VGGFace2 also show the superiority of the dense supervision on cross-pose face matching.
