Description[edit | ]
It was not until the breakthrough of Alexnet in 2012, and the subsequent introduction of the DeepFace model in 2014, that the use of neural networks became a mainstream method for facial recognition development. DeepFace, the first facial recognition model trained with deep learning, was also the first instance of a facial recognition model approaching human performance on a task. Deepface was developed by researchers at Facebook, Inc. and trained on an internal dataset composed of images from Facebook profile images; at the time, it was purportedly “the largest facial dataset to-date, an identity labeled dataset of 4 million facial images belonging to more than 4,000 identities” (Taigman et al. 2014).The impact of deep learning techniques on face recognition and its adjacent problems was dramatic; the DeepFace model achieved a 97.35% accuracy on the Labeled Faces in the Wild (LfW) test set, reducing the previous state of the art’s error by 27%. 1
