Getting Started
Training
Training consists of two separate steps:
- Train ResNet100 imported from backbones.py as the deterministic backbone using spherical loss, e.g. ArcFace loss.
- Train SCF based on the pretrained backbone by specifying the arguments including [GPU_IDS], [OUTPUT_DIR], [PATH_BACKBONE_CKPT] (the path of the pretrained backbone checkpoint) and [PATH_FC_CKPT] (the path of the pretrained fc-layer checkpoint) and then running the command:
python train.py \
--dataset "ms1m" \
--seed 777 \
--gpu_ids [GPU_IDS] \
--batch_size 1024 \
--output_dir [OUTPUT_DIR] \
--saved_bkb [PATH_BACKBONE_CKPT] \
--saved_fc [PATH_FC_CKPT] \
--num_workers 8 \
--epochs 30 \
--lr 3e-5 \
--lr_scheduler "StepLR" \
--step_size 2 \
--gamma 0.5 \
--convf_dim 25088 \
--z_dim 512 \
--radius 64 \
--max_grad_clip 0 \
--max_grad_norm 0 \
--tensorboard
Test
IJB benchmark: use $\kappa$ as confidence score for each face image to aggregate representations as in Eqn (14). Refer to the standard IJB benchmark for implementation.
1v1 verification benchmark: use Eqn (13) as the similarity score.
