TWO-WAY METRIC LEARNING WITH MAJORITY AND MINORITY SUBSETS FOR CLASSIFICATION OF LARGE EXTREMELY IMBALANCED FACE DATASET

This paper proposes a new learning methodology involving deep features and two-way metric learning for large, extremely imbalanced face datasets where the number of minority classes and the imbalance ratio are both very high. The problem arises because the faces of some celebrities, being more popul...

description This paper proposes a new learning methodology involving deep features and two-way metric learning for large, extremely imbalanced face datasets where the number of minority classes and the imbalance ratio are both very high. The problem arises because the faces of some celebrities, being more popular, are readily available in social media and the internet, while the faces of some relatively lesser-known personalities are fewer in number.
