From classifying handwritten digits to generating strings of text, the datasets which have received long-time focus from the machine learning community vary greatly in their subject matter. This has motivated a renewed interest in building datasets which are socially and culturally relevant, so that algorithmic research may have a more direct and immediate impact on society. One such area is in history and the humanities, where better and relevant machine learning models can accelerate research across various fields. To this end, newly released benchmarks and models have been proposed for transcribing historical Japanese cursive writing, yet for the field as a whole using machine learning for historical Japanese artworks still remains largely uncharted. To bridge this gap, in this work we propose a new dataset KaoKore which consists of faces extracted from pre-modern Japanese artwork. We demonstrate its value as both a dataset for image classification as well as a creative and artistic dataset, which we explore using generative models.

Facial expression recognition from videos in the wild is a challenging task due to the lack of abundant labelled training data. Large DNN (deep neural network) architectures and ensemble methods have resulted in better performance, but soon reach saturation at some point due to data inadequacy. In this paper, we use a self-training method that utilizes a combination of a labelled dataset and an unlabelled dataset (Body Language Dataset - BoLD). Experimental analysis shows that training a noisy student network iteratively helps in achieving significantly better results. Additionally, our model isolates different regions of the face and processes them independently using a multi-level attention mechanism which further boosts the performance. Our results show that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance on benchmark datasets CK+ and AFEW 8.0 when compared to other single models.
Face images are subject to many different factors of variation, especially in unconstrained in-the-wild scenarios. For most tasks involving such images, e.g. expression recognition from video streams, having enough labeled data is prohibitively expensive. One common strategy to tackle such a problem is to learn disentangled representations for the different factors of variation of the observed data using adversarial learning. In this paper, we use a formulation of the adversarial loss to learn disentangled representations for face images. The used model facilitates learning on single-task datasets and improves the state-of-the-art in expression recognition with an accuracy of60.53%on the AffectNetdataset, without using any additional data.
Active illumination is a prominent complement to enhance 2D face recognition and make it more robust, e.g., to spoofing attacks and low-light conditions. In the present work we show that it is possible to adopt active illumination to enhance state-of-the-art 2D face recognition approaches with 3D features, while bypassing the complicated task of 3D reconstruction. The key idea is to project over the test face a high spatial frequency pattern, which allows us to simultaneously recover real 3D information plus a standard 2D facial image. Therefore, state-of-the-art 2D face recognition solution can be transparently applied, while from the high frequency component of the input image, complementary 3D facial features are extracted. Experimental results on ND-2006 dataset show that the proposed ideas can significantly boost face recognition performance and dramatically improve the robustness to spoofing attacks.
One of the most common problems encountered in human-computer interaction is automatic facial expression recognition. Although it is easy for human observer to recognize facial expressions, automatic recognition remains difficult for machines. One of the methods that machines can recognize facial expression is analyzing the changes in face during facial expression presentation. In this paper, optical flow algorithm was used to extract deformation or motion vectors created in the face because of facial expressions. Then, these extracted motion vectors are used to be analyzed. Their positions and directions were exploited for automatic facial expression recognition using different data mining techniques. It means that by employing motion vector features used as our data, facial expressions were recognized. Some of the most state-of-the-art classification algorithms such as C5.0, CRT, QUEST, CHAID, Deep Learning (DL), SVM and Discriminant algorithms were used to classify the extracted motion vectors. Using 10-fold cross validation, their performances were calculated. To compare their performance more precisely, the test was repeated 50 times. Meanwhile, the deformation of face was also analyzed in this research. For example, what exactly happened in each part of face when a person showed fear? Experimental results on Extended Cohen-Kanade (CK+) facial expression dataset demonstrated that the best methods were DL, SVM and C5.0, with the accuracy of 95.3%, 92.8% and 90.2% respectively.
In this paper, we target on advancing the performance in facial expression recognition (FER) by exploiting omni-supervised learning. The current state of the art FER approaches usually aim to recognize facial expressions in a controlled environment by training models with a limited number of samples. To enhance the robustness of the learned models for various scenarios, we propose to perform omni-supervised learning by exploiting the labeled samples together with a large number of unlabeled data. Particularly, we first employ MS-Celeb-1M as the facial-pool where around 5,822K unlabeled facial images are included. Then, a primitive model learned on a small number of labeled samples is adopted to select samples with high confidence from the facial-pool by conducting feature-based similarity comparison. We find the new dataset constructed in such an omni-supervised manner can significantly improve the generalization ability of the learned FER model and boost the performance consequently. However, as more training samples are used, more computation resources and training time are required, which is usually not affordable in many circumstances. To relieve the requirement of computational resources, we further adopt a dataset distillation strategy to distill the target task-related knowledge from the new mined samples and compressed them into a very small set of images. This distilled dataset is capable of boosting the performance of FER with few additional computational cost introduced. We perform extensive experiments on five popular benchmarks and a newly constructed dataset, where consistent gains can be achieved under various settings using the proposed framework. We hope this work will serve as a solid baseline and help ease future research in FER.
