Abstract
Human attribute analysis is a challenging task in the field of computer
vision, since the data is largely imbalance-distributed. Common techniques such
as re-sampling and cost-sensitive learning require prior-knowledge to train the
system. To address this problem, we propose a unified framework called Dynamic
Curriculum Learning (DCL) to online adaptively adjust the sampling strategy and
loss learning in single batch, which resulting in better generalization and
discrimination. Inspired by the curriculum learning, DCL consists of two level
curriculum schedulers: (1) sampling scheduler not only manages the data
distribution from imbalanced to balanced but also from easy to hard; (2) loss
scheduler controls the learning importance between classification and metric
learning loss. Learning from these two schedulers, we demonstrate our DCL
framework with the new state-of-the-art performance on the widely used face
attribute dataset CelebA and pedestrian attribute dataset RAP.
