• Abstract: Kinship verification is a well-explored task: identifying whether or not two persons are kin. In contrast, kinship identification has been largely ignored so far. Kinship identification aims to further identify the particular type of kinship. An extension to kinship verification run short to properly obtain identification, because existing verification networks are individually trained on specific kinships and do not consider the context between different kinship types. Also, existing kinship verification datasets have biased positive-negative distributions which are different than real-world distributions. To this end, we propose a novel kinship identification approach based on joint training of kinship verification ensembles and classification modules. We propose to rebalance the training dataset to become more realistic. Large scale experiments demonstrate the appealing performance on kinship identification. The experiments further show significant performance improvement of kinship verification when trained on the same dataset with more realistic distributions.

  Well-known sample-centered score normalization techniques, Z-norm and T-norm, do not improve fairness for high-security operating points. We extend the standard Z/T-norm to integrate demographic information in normalization. We show that our techniques generally improve the overall fairness of five state-of-the-art pre-trained face recognition networks.

• Concurrent Discrimination and Alignment for Self-Supervised Feature Learning [52.213140525321165]
  Existing self-supervised learning methods learn by means of pretext tasks which are either (1) discriminating that explicitly specify which features should be separated or (2) aligning that precisely indicate which features should be closed together. In this work, we combine the positive aspects of the discriminating and aligning methods, and design a hybrid method that addresses the above issue. Our method explicitly specifies the repulsion and attraction mechanism respectively by discriminative predictive task and concurrently maximizing mutual information between paired views. Our experiments on nine established benchmarks show that the proposed model consistently outperforms the existing state-of-the-art results of self-supervised and transfer
