提出两种新损失函数,提升生物特征验证的准确率与安全性。

Alpha Divergence Losses for Biometric Verification

  • 通过参考分布或逻辑值引入角度边界,设计新型α散度损失
  • 在IJB-B/C和VoxCeleb上显著优于基线模型,尤其在低误拒率下表现优异
  • 模型输出稀疏,适合大规模数据的高效训练,适用于高安全场景

人脸识别和语音验证性能主要依赖于基于边距的Softmax损失,如CosFace和ArcFace。近期提出的α-散度损失函数提供了一种有吸引力的替代方案,尤其因其能诱导稀疏解(当α>1时)。然而,将角度边距——验证任务中的关键要素——融入其中并不直接。本文发现该集成可通过参考测度(先验概率)或逻辑值(未归一化的对数似然)实现。我们探索了这两种路径,推导出两种新的基于边距的α-散度损失:Q-Margin(边距在参考测度中)和A3M(边距在逻辑值中)。我们识别并解决了A3M因稀疏性导致的训练不稳定性问题,提出一种简单有效的原型重初始化策略。所提方法在具有挑战性的IJB-B和IJB-C人脸验证基准上取得显著性能提升。在VoxCeleb语音验证数据集上也展现出强劲表现。尤为重要的是,我们的模型在极低假接受率(FAR)下显著超越强基线,这对银行认证等高安全应用场景至关重要。此外,α-散度后验的稀疏性支持内存高效的训练,对于包含数百万身份的数据集尤为关键。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Performance in face and speaker verification is largely driven by margin-based softmax losses such as CosFace and ArcFace. Recently introduced $α$-divergence loss functions offer a compelling alternative, particularly due to their ability to induce sparse solutions (when $α>1$). However, integrating an angular margin-crucial for verification tasks-is not straightforward. We find that this integration can be achieved in at least two distinct ways: via the reference measure (prior probabilities) or via the logits (unnormalized log-likelihoods). In this paper, we explore both pathways, deriving two novel margin-based $α$-divergence losses: Q-Margin (margin in the reference measure) and A3M (margin in the logits). We identify and address a training instability in A3M-caused by sparsity-with a simple yet effective prototype re-initialization strategy. Our methods achieve significant performance gains on the challenging IJB-B and IJB-C face verification benchmarks. We demonstrate similarly strong performance in speaker verification on VoxCeleb. Crucially, our models significantly outperform strong baselines at low false acceptance rates (FAR). This capability is critical for practical high-security applications, such as banking authentication, when minimizing false authentications is paramount. Finally, the sparsity of $α$-divergence-based posteriors enables memory-efficient training, which is crucial for datasets with millions of identities.
