Computer Vision and Image Understanding

AI Summary

This work addresses the limitations of multi-task facial attribute recognition, which often suffers from a rapid increase in model parameters with the number of tasks and insufficient interaction among high-level features. To mitigate these issues, the authors propose a weight-shared group-specific attention module (WSGSA), a cross-group feature fusion mechanism (CGFF), and a dynamic weighting strategy (DWS). These components jointly reduce model complexity while enhancing semantic inter-task relationships. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves higher accuracy with fewer parameters on both the CelebA and LFWA datasets, outperforming current state-of-the-art methods.
