AsArcFace: Asymmetric Additive Angular Margin Loss for Fairface Recognition

Abstract

Fairface recognition aims to the mitigate the bias between different attributes in face recognition task while maintaining the state-of-art accurancy. It is a challenging task due to high variances between different attributes and unbalancement of data. In this work, we provide an approach to make a fairface recognition by using asymmetric-arc-loss training and multi-step finetuning. First, we train a general model with an asymmetric-arc-loss, and then, we make a mutli-step finetuning to get higher auc and lower bias. Besides, we propose another viewpoint on reducing the bias and use bag of tricks such as reranking, boundary cut and hard-sample model ensembling to improve the performance. Our approach achieved the first place at ECCV 2020 ChaLearn Looking at People Fair Face Recognition Challenge.
