Distillation of an End-to-End Oracle for Face Verification and Recognition Sensors.

Face recognition functions are today exploited through biometric sensors in many applications, from extended security systems to inclusion devices; deep neural network methods are reaching in this field stunning performances. The main limitation of the deep learning approach is an inconvenient relation between the accuracy of the results and the needed computing power. When a personal device is employed, in particular, many algorithms require a cloud computing approach to achieve the expected performances; other algorithms adopt models that are simple by design.
