• Abstract summary: Retrieving facial images from attributes plays a vital role in various systems such as face recognition and suspect identification. Existing methods do so by comparing specific characteristics from the user's mental image against the suggested images. We propose a method that uses the user's feedback to label images as either similar or dissimilar to the target image.

• Abstract: Retrieving facial images from attributes plays a vital role in various systems such as face recognition and suspect identification. Compared to other image retrieval tasks, facial image retrieval is more challenging due to the high subjectivity involved in describing a person's facial features. Existing methods do so by comparing specific characteristics from the user's mental image against the suggested images via high-level supervision such as using natural language. In contrast, we propose a method that uses a relatively simpler form of binary supervision by utilizing the user's feedback to label images as either similar or dissimilar to the target image. Such supervision enables us to exploit the contrastive learning paradigm for encapsulating each user's personalized notion of similarity. For this, we propose a novel loss function optimized online via user feedback. We validate the efficacy of our proposed approach using a carefully designed testbed to simulate user feedback and a large-scale user study. Our experiments demonstrate that our method iteratively improves personalization, leading to faster convergence and enhanced recommendation relevance, thereby, improving user satisfaction. Our proposed framework is also equipped with a user-friendly web interface with a real-time experience for facial image retrieval.

  We propose a reflective human-machine co-adaptation strategy, named RHM-CAS. externally, the Agent engages in meaningful language interactions with users to reflect on and refine the generated images. Internally, the Agent tries to optimize the policy based on user preferences, ensuring that the final outcomes closely align with user preferences.

  We propose Contrastive Regularization for Face recognition (CoReFace) to apply image-level regularization in feature representation learning. Specifically, we employ sample-guided contrastive learning to regularize the training with the image-image relationship directly. To integrate contrastive learning into face recognition, we augment embeddings instead of images to avoid the image quality degradation.

  Few-shot-based facial recognition systems have gained increasing attention due to their scalability and ability to work with a few face images. To prevent the face images from being misused, one straightforward approach is to modify the raw face images before sharing them. We propose a complete toolkit FACE-AUDITOR that can query the few-shot-based facial recognition model and determine whether any of a user's face images is used in training the model.
