Abstract


Facial gender and smile classification in unconstrained environment is challenging due to the invertible and large variations of face images. In this paper, we propose a deep model composed of GNet and SNet for these two tasks. We leverage the multi-task learning and the general-to-specific fine-tuning scheme to enhance the performance of our model. Our strategies exploit the inherent correlation between face identity, smile, gender and other face attributes to relieve the problem of over-fitting on small training set and improve the classification performance. We also propose the tasks-aware face cropping scheme to extract attribute-specific regions. The experimental results on the ChaLearn'16 FotW dataset for gender and smile classification demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed methods.
