Rethinking Race Face Datasets

Setup

Should work for most Python 3.6+, we use Python 3.8.1.

Run pip install --upgrade pip.

Install necessary packages: pip install -r requirements.txt.

Download BUPT-Balancedface: http://www.whdeng.cn/RFW/Trainingdataste.html.

Modify the paths in configs/data_default.py according to wherever you put the datasets.

(Optionally) Instead of modifying data_default.py, add a new config (data_[your name].py) to configs/, and add branch logic to main.py:get_data_config() such that your config will be loaded.

Experiments

Bash scripts that run our experiments can be found under the experiments directory.

Note that you will need to finish all setup steps before running an experiment!

The settings given in the experiments and configs directories will reproduce our experimental results, as reported in the paper.
