• Abstract: This paper presents an extensive exploration and comparative analysis of lightweight face recognition (FR) models, specifically focusing on MobileFaceNet and its modified variant, MMobileFaceNet. The need for efficient FR models on devices with limited computational resources has led to the development of models with reduced memory footprints and computational demands without sacrificing accuracy. Our research delves into the impact of dataset selection, model architecture, and optimization algorithms on the performance of FR models. We highlight our participation in the EFaR-2023 competition, where our models showcased exceptional performance, particularly in categories restricted by the number of parameters. By employing a subset of the Webface42M dataset and integrating sharpness-aware minimization (SAM) optimization, we achieved significant improvements in accuracy across various benchmarks, including those that test for cross-pose, cross-age, and cross-ethnicity performance. The results underscore the efficacy of our approach in crafting models that are not only computationally efficient but also maintain high accuracy in diverse conditions.

  We propose using multi-objective Neural Architecture Search (NAS) and Hyperparameter Optimization (HPO) in the first application to the very challenging domain of tabular data. We show that models optimized solely for accuracy with NAS often fail to inherently address fairness concerns. We produce architectures that consistently dominate state-of-the-art bias mitigation methods either in fairness, accuracy or both.

  We study a number of design decisions for the predictive model in visual MBRL algorithms. We find that a range of design decisions that are often considered crucial, such as the use of latent spaces, have little effect on task performance. We show how this phenomenon is related to exploration and how some of the lower-scoring models on standard benchmarks will perform the same as the best-performing models when trained on the same training data.
