Age Prediction From Face Images Via Contrastive Learning

Yeongnam Chae, Poulami Raha, Mijung Kim, Bjorn Stenger

This paper presents a novel approach for accurately estimating age from face images, which overcomes the challenge of collecting a large dataset of individuals with the same identity at different ages. Instead, we leverage readily available face datasets of different people at different ages and aim to extract age-related features using contrastive learning. Our method emphasizes these relevant features while suppressing identity-related features using a combination of cosine similarity and triplet margin losses. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach by achieving state-of-the-art performance on two public datasets, FG-NET and MORPH-II.
