propose a new model, called
“Associate-Predict” (AP) model, to address this issue. The
associate-predict model is built on an extra generic identity
data set, in which each identity contains multiple images
with large intra-personal variation. When considering two
faces under significantly different settings (e.g., non-frontal
and frontal), we first “associate” one input face with alike
identities from the generic identity date set. Using the associated
faces, we generatively “predict” the appearance of
one input face under the setting of another input face, or
discriminatively “predict” the likelihood whether two input
faces are from the same person or not. We call the two proposed
prediction methods as “appearance-prediction” and
“likelihood-prediction”. By leveraging an extra data set
(“memory”) and the “associate-predict” model, the intrapersonal
variation can be effectively handled.
