# ConvRec Face Recognition Model

**Run Inference at**

[![Open in Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg)](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1Ym7a_lrVdF50NH3JMrzbPdE4iuXEtcqA?usp=sharing)


A proprietary high-performance face recognition model developed by ConvAI Innovations, achieving **97.56% accuracy** on 5000 identities through our progressive training methodology.

## Model Performance

- **Training Accuracy**: 97.56%
- **ROC-AUC Score**: 1.000 (perfect discrimination)
- **Verification Accuracy**: 100% on test set
- **Number of Identities**: 5000
- **Embedding Size**: 512 dimensions

## Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
pip install torch torchvision pillow numpy tqdm
```

### Basic Usage

```python
from face_recognition import FaceRecognition

# Initialize model
model = FaceRecognition('best_model.pth')

# Compare two faces
similarity = model.verify_faces('face1.jpg', 'face2.jpg')
print(f"Similarity: {similarity:.3f}")

# Check if same person (threshold=0.5)
is_same = model.are_same_person('face1.jpg', 'face2.jpg', threshold=0.5)
```

## Model Training Pipeline

### 1. Data Preparation

**Dataset**: CASIA-WebFace
- 65,540 images
- 5,000 unique identities
- Preprocessed to 112x112 resolution

**Data Augmentation**:
- Random horizontal flipping
- Random cropping (128x128 → 112x112)
- Color jittering (brightness, contrast, saturation)
- Progressive augmentation (mild → strong after epoch 20)

### 2. Model Architecture

**Backbone**: ResNet-50
- Pretrained on ImageNet
- Modified with custom embedding layers
- Architecture:
  ```
  ResNet50 → BatchNorm → Dropout(0.4) → FC(2048→512) → BatchNorm → L2 Normalize
  ```

**Loss Function**: ConvRec Loss (Proprietary Angular Margin)
- Progressive margin schedule
- Initial: s=10, m=0 (no margin)
- Final: s=64, m=0.5 (full angular margin)

### 3. Training Strategy

**Hardware & Duration**:
- Trained on a single NVIDIA A100 GPU
- Total training time: 3 hours
- 50 epochs completed

**Progressive Training Approach**:

1. **Warmup Phase (Epochs 1-8)**:
   - No angular margin (m=0)
   - Gradually increase scale (s: 10→30)
   - Frozen backbone layers
   - Learning basic face discrimination

2. **Progressive Phase (Epochs 8-20)**:
   - Gradually add angular margin (m: 0→0.35)
   - Unfreeze all layers
   - Increase scale (s: 30→45)

3. **Strong Training (Epochs 20-50)**:
   - Full ConvRec parameters
   - Strong data augmentation
   - Final parameters: s=64, m=0.5

### 4. Hyperparameters

**Optimization**:
- Optimizer: AdamW with differential learning rates
- Initial LR: 0.001 (head), 0.0001 (backbone)
- Scheduler: CosineAnnealingWarmRestarts (T_0=10, T_mult=2)
- Weight Decay: 5e-4
- Gradient Clipping: 5.0

**Training Configuration**:
- Batch Size: 256 (auto-adjusted for GPU)
- Epochs: 50
- Mixed Precision: FP16 with GradScaler
- Gradient Accumulation: Optional

### 5. Iteration Strategy

**Model Development Process**:

1. **Initial Attempt**: Standard angular margin loss → 0% accuracy
   - Issue: Loss explosion (36.0 instead of expected 4.6)
   - Root cause: Improper normalization

2. **Debugging Phase**:
   - Created diagnostic scripts
   - Identified cosine similarity range issues
   - Found parameter initialization problems

3. **Fix Implementation**:
   - Proper L2 normalization for embeddings and weights
   - Reduced initial scale parameter
   - Fixed weight initialization

4. **Progressive Training**:
   - Started with no margin (simple cosine similarity)
   - Gradually introduced angular margin
   - Result: 55% accuracy at epoch 13

5. **Extended Training**:
   - Trained for 50 epochs
   - Achieved 97.56% accuracy at epoch 26
   - Perfect ROC-AUC of 1.000

**Key Innovations**:
- Progressive margin scheduling prevented training collapse
- Differential learning rates for backbone vs. head
- Adaptive batch size based on GPU memory
- Warmup phase for stability

## Usage Examples

### Face Verification

```python
from face_recognition import FaceRecognition

# Load model
fr = FaceRecognition('best_model.pth')

# Verify if two images are the same person
result = fr.verify_faces('data/person1/img1.jpg', 'data/person1/img2.jpg')
print(f"Same person: {result['is_same']}")
print(f"Similarity: {result['similarity']:.3f}")
```

### Find Duplicates in Folder

```python
from face_deduplication import FaceDeduplication

# Initialize deduplicator
dedup = FaceDeduplication('best_model.pth')

# Find all duplicate faces in a folder
duplicates = dedup.find_duplicates('data/', threshold=0.5)

for group in duplicates:
    print(f"Duplicate group ({len(group)} images):")
    for img in group:
        print(f"  - {img}")
```

### Build Face Gallery

```python
from face_recognition import FaceRecognition

fr = FaceRecognition('best_model.pth')

# Build gallery from folder
gallery = fr.build_gallery('data/')

# Search for a face
results = fr.search_in_gallery('query.jpg', gallery, top_k=5)

for person, similarity in results:
    print(f"{person}: {similarity:.3f}")
```
