InterFace:Adjustable Angular Margin Inter-class Loss for Deep Face Recognition
In the field of face recognition, it is always a hot research topic to
improve the loss solution to make the face features extracted by the network
have greater discriminative power. Research works in recent years has improved
the discriminative power of the face model by normalizing softmax to the cosine
space step by step and then adding a fixed penalty margin to reduce the
intra-class distance to increase the inter-class distance. Although a great
deal of previous work has been done to optimize the boundary penalty to improve
the discriminative power of the model, adding a fixed margin penalty to the
depth feature and the corresponding weight is not consistent with the pattern
of data in the real scenario. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose
a novel loss function, InterFace, releasing the constraint of adding a margin
penalty only between the depth feature and the corresponding weight to push the
separability of classes by adding corresponding margin penalties between the
depth features and all weights. To illustrate the advantages of InterFace over
a fixed penalty margin, we explained geometrically and comparisons on a set of
mainstream benchmarks. From a wider perspective, our InterFace has advanced the
state-of-the-art face recognition performance on five out of thirteen
mainstream benchmarks. All training codes, pre-trained models, and training
logs, are publicly released

Learning Large Margin Sparse Embeddings for Open Set Medical Diagnosis
Fueled by deep learning, computer-aided diagnosis achieves huge advances.
However, out of controlled lab environments, algorithms could face multiple
challenges. Open set recognition (OSR), as an important one, states that
categories unseen in training could appear in testing. In medical fields, it
could derive from incompletely collected training datasets and the constantly
emerging new or rare diseases. OSR requires an algorithm to not only correctly
classify known classes, but also recognize unknown classes and forward them to
experts for further diagnosis. To tackle OSR, we assume that known classes
could densely occupy small parts of the embedding space and the remaining
sparse regions could be recognized as unknowns. Following it, we propose Open
Margin Cosine Loss (OMCL) unifying two mechanisms. The former, called Margin
Loss with Adaptive Scale (MLAS), introduces angular margin for reinforcing
intra-class compactness and inter-class separability, together with an adaptive
scaling factor to strengthen the generalization capacity. The latter, called
Open-Space Suppression (OSS), opens the classifier by recognizing sparse
embedding space as unknowns using proposed feature space descriptors. Besides,
since medical OSR is still a nascent field, two publicly available benchmark
datasets are proposed for comparison. Extensive ablation studies and feature
visualization demonstrate the effectiveness of each design. Compared with
state-of-the-art methods, MLAS achieves superior performances, measured by ACC,
AUROC, and OSCR
