Title
Sparse models for gender classification
Abstract
A class of sparse regularization functions is considered for the developing sparse classifiers for determining facial gender. The sparse classification method aims to both select the most important features and maximize the classification margin, in a manner similar to support vector machines. An efficient process for directly calculating the complete set of optimal, sparse classifiers is developed. A single classification hyper-plane, which maximizes posterior probability of describing training data, is then efficiently selected. The classifier is tested on a Japanese gender-divided ensemble, described via a collection of appearance models. Performance is comparable with a linear SVM, and allows effective manipulation of apparent gender.
