Face Recognition
Facial recognition is the task of making a positive identification of a face in a photo or video image against a pre-existing database of faces. It begins with detection - distinguishing human faces from other objects in the image - and then works on identification of those detected faces.
The state of the art tables for this task are contained mainly in the consistent parts of the task : the face verification and face identification tasks.

One of the main challenges in feature learning using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) for large-scale face recognition is the design of appropriate loss functions that enhance discriminative power.
VGGFace2: A dataset for recognising faces across pose and age
The dataset was collected with three goals in mind: (i) to have both a large number of identities and also a large number of images for each identity; (ii) to cover a large range of pose, age and ethnicity; and (iii) to minimize the label noise.
MS-Celeb-1M: A Dataset and Benchmark for Large-Scale Face Recognition
In this paper, we design a benchmark task and provide the associated datasets for recognizing face images and link them to corresponding entity keys in a knowledge base.
Improving Face Anti-Spoofing by 3D Virtual Synthesis

Specifically, we consider a printed photo as a flat surface and mesh it into a 3D object, which is then randomly bent and rotated in 3D space.

A Dataset and Benchmark for Large-scale Multi-modal Face Anti-spoofing
CVPR 2019
• SoftwareGift/FeatherNets_Face-Anti-spoofing-Attack-Detection-Challenge-CVPR2019
•
To facilitate face anti-spoofing research, we introduce a large-scale multi-modal dataset, namely CASIA-SURF, which is the largest publicly available dataset for face anti-spoofing in terms of both subjects and visual modalities.
