Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Age changes cause major variations in the appearance of human faces. Due to many lifestyle factors, it is difficult to precisely predict how individuals may look with advancing years or how they looked with "retreating" years. In this thesis, a new automatic aging scheme is proposed. The method requires only one input image of a subject and produces an age progressed or age regressed image of the person at a target age. This thesis also presents a complete facial image normalization scheme, compensating an image for variability due to lighting effects, face pose and minor expressions. We also propose a new texture enhancement system to transfer geometric details from multiple surfaces onto a new surface. […]

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
