Description

‍

The dataset Human Faces is a collection of over 7,200 images of human faces, selected for their ethnic, generational and morphological diversity. Some images generated by GAN are also included in order to add an additional challenge to synthetic content detection models.

‍

‍

What is this dataset for?

‍

  • Training facial recognition models that are robust to the diversity of faces
  • Detect images generated by GAN by training specialized classifiers
  • Perform tasks to group or identify individuals

‍

‍

Can it be enriched or improved?

‍

Yes, it can be enriched with additional metadata such as gender, estimated age, or facial orientation. It is also possible to annotate images according to whether they are synthetic or real for specific detection tasks.
