The main challenge in recognizing faces in video is effectively exploiting the multiple frames of a face and the accompanying dynamic signature. One prominent method is based on extracting joint appearance and behavioral features. A second method models a person by temporal correlations of features in a video. Our approach introduces the concept of video-dictionaries for face recognition, which generalizes the work in sparse representation and dictionaries for faces in still images. Video-dictionaries are designed to implicitly encode temporal, pose, and illumination information. We demonstrate our method on the Face and Ocular Challenge Series (FOCS), which consists of unconstrained video sequences. We show that our method is efficient and performs significantly better than many competitive video-based face recognition algorithms.

In this work we introduce an instance-level approach to multiple instance learning. Our bottom-up approach learns a discriminative notion of similarity between instances in positive bags and use it to form a discriminative similarity graph. We then introduce the notion of similarity preserving quasi-cliques that aims at discovering large quasi-cliques with high scores of within-clique similarities. We argue that such large cliques provide clue to infer the underlying structure between positive instances. We use a ranking function that takes into account pairwise similarities coupled with prospectiveness of edges to score all positive instances. We show that these scores yield to positive instance discovery. Our experimental evaluations show that our method outperforms state-of-the-art MIL methods both at the bag-level and instance-level predictions in standard benchmarks and image and text datasets.
