Joint Feature Learning for Face Recognition by Lu, Jiwen, Liong, Venice Erin, Wang, Gang, Moulin, Pierre

“…Since different face regions have different physical characteristics, we propose to use different feature dictionaries to represent them, and to learn multiple yet related feature projection matrices for these regions simultaneously. Hence position-specific discriminative information can be exploited for face representation. …”
