BEIJING, Oct. 31, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- iQIYI, Inc.
(NASDAQ: IQ) ("iQIYI" or the "Company"), an innovative
market-leading online entertainment service in China, today announced that its paper on
facial recognition technologies - Unknown Identity
Rejection Loss: Utilizing Unlabeled Data for Face Recognition
(the "Paper") has been accepted by the International Conference on
Computer Vision ("ICCV"), one of the world's top three conferences
on computer vision whose accepted papers represent the most
advanced research in the field.
Along with the development of deep-learning technology, facial
recognition has been a subject of widespread research. Practical
applications of facial recognition, however, are still lacking due
to challenges with addressing uncertain variables that exist in
uncontrolled settings, such as pose, expression, illumination and
makeup. Facial recognition models used for practical applications
usually require a large manually labelled facial recognition
dataset and a low-efficiency method undermines the accuracy rate of
facial recognition technologies. In the Paper, iQIYI's technical
team puts forward an innovation method that entails an optimization
model for unlabeled data, which helps expand the facial recognition
database in a short period of time and helps effectively improve
the accuracy rate of facial recognition technologies in
uncontrolled settings.
At ICCV this year, iQIYI, along with Imperial College London,
DeepGlint and InfiniVision, held a lightweight face recognition
competition. During the competition, iQIYI released its new
iQIYI-VID-FACE dataset which composes over 10,000 celebrities, 6.3
million photos and over hundreds of thousands of film and TV video
clips or frame images. (For more details on the dataset, please

In recent years, iQIYI's achievements in technical research and
development have been repeatedly recognized by key international
academic organizations. For example, iQIYI took the first place at
Emotion Recognition in the Wild Challenge ("EmotiW2016") organized
by the International Customer Management Institute ("ICMI") and
published its paper titled Video-based Emotion Recognition Using
CNN-RNN and C3D Hybrid Networks. In addition, iQIYI
collaborated with ACM International Conference on Multimedia ("ACM
MM") to hold the 2019 Celebrity Video Identification Challenge. The
Challenge was participated by iQIYI along with top foreign and
domestic universities, such as Carnegie Mellon
University, University College London, University of Exeter,
Tsinghua University, Peking University, as well as well-known
companies, such as Baidu, ZTE, JD.com, Meitu, and Nvidia, achieving
the precision of the recognition technology by 91.14%.
"A subject of increasing importance in AI research, multimodal
person identification technology is a top priority for iQIYI
researchers," said Liu Junhui, iQIYI's Senior Director. "Going
forward, iQIYI will continue exploring the endless possibilities of
entertainment experience by breaking through technological
boundaries."
As technological advancements continue to shape the future of
the entertainment industry, user experience is key to establishing
one's place as an industry leader. Going forward, iQIYI will
continue to push the boundaries of innovation to provide its users
with optimal entertainment experiences and carry out its vision to
become a technology-driven entertainment giant.
Organized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers ("IEEE"), ICCV is a leading international computer vision
event that is attended by more than 5,000 students, academics,
industry professionals, and researchers from across the world.
