Apparent age estimation from face image has attracted more and more attentions as it is favorable in some realworld applications. In this work, we propose an end-toend learning approach for robust apparent age estimation, named by us AgeNet. Specifically, we address the apparent age estimation problem by fusing two kinds of models, i.e., real-value based regression models and Gaussian label distribution based classification models. For both kind of models, large-scale deep convolutional neural network is adopted to learn informative age representations. Another key feature of the proposed AgeNet is that, to avoid the problem of over-fitting on small apparent age training set, we exploit a general-to-specific transfer learning scheme. Technically, the AgeNet is first pre-trained on a large-scale webcollected face dataset with identity label, and then it is finetuned on a large-scale real age dataset with noisy age label. Finally, it is fine-tuned on a small training set with apparent age label. The experimental results on the ChaLearn 2015 Apparent Age Competition demonstrate that our AgeNet achieves the state-of-the-art performance in apparent age estimation.
