• Abstract: Early methods used face representations in kinship verification, which are less accurate than joint representations of parents' and children's facial images learned from scratch. We propose an approach featuring graph neural network concepts to utilize face representations and have comparable results to joint representation algorithms. Moreover, we designed the structure of the classification module and introduced a new combination of losses to engage the center loss gradually in training our network. Additionally, we conducted experiments on KinFaceW-I and II, demonstrating the effectiveness of our approach. We achieved the best result on KinFaceW-II, an average improvement of nearly 1.6 for all kinship types, and we were near the best on KinFaceW-I.

  Kinship recognition aims to determine whether the subjects in two facial images are kin or non-kin. Most previous methods focus on designs without considering the spatial correlation between face images. We propose the Face Componential Relation Network, which learns the relationship between face components among images with a cross-attention mechanism. The proposed FaCoRNet outperforms previous state-of-the-art methods by large margins for the largest public kinship recognition FIW benchmark.

  Blind Face Restoration (BFR) aims to construct a high-quality (HQ) face image from its corresponding low-quality (LQ) input. We first synthesize two blind face restoration benchmark datasets called EDFace-Celeb-1M (BFR128) and EDFace-Celeb-150K (BFR512) State-of-the-art methods are benchmarked on them under five settings including blur, noise, low resolution, JPEG compression artifacts, and the combination of them (full degradation)

  Current state-of-the-art models for automatic Facial Expression Recognition (FER) are based on very deep neural networks that are effective but rather expensive to train. We formalize the FaceChannel, a light-weight neural network that has much fewer parameters than common deep neural networks. We demonstrate how our model achieves a comparable, if not better, performance to the current state-of-the-art in FER.

  We propose a novel joint deep learning of facial expression synthesis and recognition method for effective FER. The proposed method involves a two-stage learning procedure. Firstly, a facial expression synthesis generative adversarial network (FESGAN) is pre-trained to generate facial images with different facial expressions. In order to alleviate the problem of data bias between the real images and the synthetic images, we propose an intra-class loss with a novel real data-guided back-propagation (RDBP) algorithm.
