Towards understanding the character of quality sampling in deep learning face recognition by Iurii Medvedev, João Tremoço, Beatriz Mano, Luís Espírito Santo, Nuno Gonçalves

“…To mitigate this problem, we propose to regularise the training of the deep face recognition network with a specific sample mining strategy, which penalises the samples by their estimated quality. In addition to several considered quality metrics in recent work, we also expand our deep learning strategy to other sophisticated quality estimation methods and perform experiments to better understand the nature of quality sampling. …”
