Considering Race a Problem of Transfer Learning
As biometric applications are fielded to serve large population groups, issues of performance differences between
individual sub-groups are becoming increasingly important. In this paper we examine cases where we believe race
is one such factor. We look in particular at two forms of
problem; facial classification and image synthesis. We take
the novel approach of considering race as a boundary for
transfer learning in both the task (facial classification) and
the domain (synthesis over distinct datasets). We demonstrate a series of techniques to improve transfer learning of
facial classification; outperforming similar models trained
in the target’s own domain. We conduct a study to evaluate the performance drop of Generative Adversarial Networks trained to conduct image synthesis, in this process,
we produce a new annotation for the Celeb-A dataset by
race. These networks are trained solely on one race and
tested on another - demonstrating the subsets of the CelebA
to be distinct domains for this tas
