Age Label Distribution Learning Based on Unsupervised Comparisons of Faces

Although label distribution learning has made significant progress in the field of face age estimation, unsupervised learning has not been widely adopted and is still an important and challenging task. In this work, we propose an unsupervised contrastive label distribution learning method (UCLD) for...
