The 5th Recognizing Families in the Wild Data Challenge: Predicting Kinship from Faces

Recognizing Families In the Wild (RFIW), held as a data challenge in conjunction with the 16th IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG), is a large-scale, multi-track visual kinship recognition evaluation. For the fifth edition of RFIW, we continue to attract scholars, bring together professionals, publish new work, and discuss prospects. In this paper, we summarize submissions for the three tasks of this year's RFIW: specifically, we review the results for kinship verification, tri-subject verification, and family member search and retrieval. We look at the RFIW problem, share current efforts, and make recommendations for promising future directions.

Recognizing Families In the Wild (RFIW): The 4th Edition

Recognizing Families In the Wild (RFIW): an annual large-scale, multi-track automatic kinship recognition evaluation that supports various visual kin-based problems on scales much higher than ever before. Organized in conjunction with the 15th IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG) as a Challenge, RFIW provides a platform for publishing original work and the gathering of experts for a discussion of the next steps. This paper summarizes the supported tasks (i.e., kinship verification, tri-subject verification, and search & retrieval of missing children) in the evaluation protocols, which include the practical motivation, technical background, data splits, metrics, and benchmark results. Furthermore, top submissions (i.e., leader-board stats) are listed and reviewed as a high-level analysis on the state of the problem. In the end, the purpose of this paper is to describe the 2020 RFIW challenge, end-to-end, along with forecasts in promising future directions.
