Learning the Face Space

ABSTRACT
Among the most challenging tasks for visual form ('shape') analysis and
object recognition are understanding how people process and recognize each
other's face, and the development of corresponding computational models and
automated face recognition systems. The enormity of the problem has
involved hundreds of scientists in interdisciplinary research but the
ultimate solution remains elusive. We overview the major face processing
tasks and our solutions for solving them. We then discuss an integrated
learning and evolutionary computation methodology for approaching the task
of learning the face space.
