In our proposed work, a deep CNN model that was\ntrained on a database for face recognition task is used to estimate the age\ninformation on the Adience database. This paper has three significant\ncontributions in this field. (1) This work proves that a CNN model, which was\ntrained for face recognition task, can be utilized for age estimation to\nimprove performance; (2) Over fitting problem can be overcome by employing a\npretrained CNN on a large database for face recognition task; (3) Not only the\nnumber of training images and the number subjects in a training database effect\nthe performance of the age estimation model, but also the pre-training task of\nthe employed CNN determines the performance of the model.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1709.01664v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1709.01664v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"deep-convolutional-neural-network-for-age","repo_url":"https://github.com/shridharrhegde/vgg-age","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"age-estimation","task_name":"Age Estimation"},{"task_slug":"face-model","task_name":"Face Model"},{"task_slug":"face-recognition","task_name":"Face Recognition"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1709.01664","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
