Face parsing infers a pixel-wise label to each facial component, which has drawn much attention recently. Previous methods have shown their efficiency in face parsing, which however overlook the correlation among different face regions. The…
Face image retrieval, which searches for images of the same identity from the query input face image, is drawing more attention as the size of the image database increases rapidly. In order to conduct fast and accurate retrieval, a compact…
While existing face recognition systems based on local features are robust to issues such as misalignment, they can exhibit accuracy degradation when comparing images of differing resolutions. This is common in surveillance environments…
Graph sparsification is a powerful tool to approximate an arbitrary graph and has been used in machine learning over homogeneous graphs. In heterogeneous graphs such as knowledge graphs, however, sparsification has not been systematically…
