The paper introduces Dual Quality Margin Learning for Face Recognition (DQM‑Face), a framework that combines magnitude‑based and semantic quality estimation to refine attraction and repulsion dynamics during training. By integrating squeeze‑and‑excitation semantic attention with dual margins, the method enhances intra‑class compactness and inter‑class separation, yielding a more discriminative feature geometry. Experiments on challenging benchmarks show that DQM‑Face outperforms state‑of‑the‑art face recognition models and that the learned quality signal aligns well with recognition objectives.

DenseFace introduces a bias‑mitigation technique for face recognition that operates on pre‑trained models without retraining. It models each person’s face embeddings with a von Mises‑Fisher distribution and uses a density‑aware probabilistic matching procedure to account for demographic differences. Experiments show that DenseFace consistently reduces racial bias across various architectures and datasets while preserving recognition accuracy.
