2022, Vision ResearchCitation Excerpt :When people do radically change across encounters, either due to a large gap between encounters (e.g., a class reunion) or radical changes in appearance (e.g., removal of facial hair), supervision is typically available as part of a normal social interaction among people, either explicitly by indicating the identity of the person or by using other identity cues including voice or the content of a conversion. Thus, familiar face recognition is enabled by generalization to images that are perceptually similar to previously learned appearances together with supervision to perceptually different appearances (Yovel & Abudarham, 2021). The role of exposure to different appearances in face identification also raises the question of the definition of familiarity.
Deep learning of shared perceptual representations for familiar and unfamiliar faces: Reply to commentaries
2021, CognitionCitation Excerpt :A major point of agreement between us and both Young and Burton (2020), and Yovel and Abudarham (2020), hereafter Y&B and Y&A, respectively, is the fact that faces exhibit a large degree of idiosyncratic within-identity variability, which places fundamental constraints on face recognition performance (Young & Burton, 2018; Kramer, Young & Burton, 2018).
