摘要	In this work, we study the problem of deep representation learning on a large face dataset with long-tail distribution. Training convolutional neural networks on such dataset with conventional strategy suffers from imbalance problem which results in biased classification boundary, and the few-shot classes lying in tail parts further make the model prone to overfitting. Aiming to learn more discriminative CNN model from long-tail data, we propose a novel aggregate-and-disperse training schema. Firstly, our proposed method aggregates similar classes in tail part to avoid imbalance problem. Based on the aggregated super classes and those original head classes, a model is pre-trained to capture accurate discrimination in head classes as well as coarse discrinimation in tail classes. Secondly, we selectively disperses those aggregated super classes to learn precise inter-class variations and refine the representation for better generalization. We perform extensive experiments on MS-Celeb-1M, BLUFR and MegaFace. Compared with baselines and existing methods, our method achieves better performance of face recognition, demonstrating its effectiveness of handling long-tail distribution.
