IJB-C (IARPA Janus Benchmark-C)

Introduced in IARPA Janus Benchmark - C: Face Dataset and Protocol1 Jan 2018 archive 2025-07-28

The IJB-C dataset is a video-based face recognition dataset. It is an extension of the IJB-A dataset with about 138,000 face images, 11,000 face videos, and 10,000 non-face images.

23 shown of 23 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 246. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-25), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
