Abstract

Current face recognition systems robustly recognize identities across a wide variety of imaging conditions. In these systems recognition is performed via classification into known identities obtained from supervised identity annotations. There are two problems with this current paradigm: (1) current systems are unable to benefit from unlabelled data which may be available in large quantities; and (2) current systems equate successful recognition with labelling a given input image. Humans, on the other hand, regularly perform identification of individuals completely unsupervised, recognising the identity of someone they have seen before even without being able to name that individual. How can we go beyond the current classification paradigm towards a more human understanding of identities? We propose an integrated Bayesian model that coherently reasons about the observed images, identities, partial knowledge about names, and the situational context of each observation. While our model achieves good recognition performance against known identities, it can also discover new identities from unsupervised data and learns to associate identities with different contexts depending on which identities tend to be observed together. In addition, the proposed semi-supervised component is able to handle not only acquaintances, whose names are known, but also unlabelled familiar faces and complete strangers in a unified framework.

One could further allow an unbounded number of latent contexts by incorporating a nonparametric context distribution, resulting in a structure akin to the nested DP [5, 23] or the dual DP described in [31]. More details in the online supplement, Sect. A.

One could instead consider a Pitman–Yor process if power-law behaviour seems more appropriate than the DP’s exponential tails [20].

The ‘true’ label likelihood \(F_\mathrm {Y}(\ell \mathbin {|}y^*_i)\) is random due to its dependence on the unobserved prior \(H_\mathrm {Y}\). We thus define \(\widehat{F_\mathrm {Y}}\) as its posterior expectation given the known identity labels \(\mathbf {y}^*\). See supplementary material, Sect. B, for details.

The predictive distribution of \(\mathbf {x}_n\) for new identities is a wide Student’s t.
