• Abstract: The softmax-based loss functions and its variants (e.g., cosface, sphereface, and arcface) significantly improve the face recognition performance in wild unconstrained scenes. A common practice of these algorithms is to perform optimizations on the multiplication between the embedding features and the linear transformation matrix. However in most cases, the dimension of embedding features is given based on traditional design experience, and there is less-studied on improving performance using the feature itself when giving a fixed size. To address this challenge, this paper presents a softmax approximation method called SubFace, which employs the subspace feature to promote the performance of face recognition. Specifically, we dynamically select the non-overlapping subspace features in each batch during training, and then use the subspace features to approximate full-feature among softmax-based loss, so the discriminability of the deep model can be significantly enhanced for face recognition. Comprehensive experiments conducted on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method can significantly improve the performance of vanilla CNN baseline, which strongly proves the effectiveness of subspace strategy with the margin-based loss.

We propose the spectral-aware softmax (SA-Softmax) loss, which can fully explore the embedding space with the modality information.

  We propose a novel loss function, named sigmoid-constrained hypersphere loss (SFace) SFace imposes intra-class and inter-class constraints on a hypersphere manifold, which are controlled by two sigmoid gradient re-scale functions respectively. It can make a better balance between decreasing the intra-class distances and preventing overfitting to the label noise, and contributes more robust deep face recognition models.
