Recently, lightweight neural network models trained with the margin-based softmax have been introduced for the face identification task for edge devices. In this paper, we propose a distillation method for lightweight neural network architectures that outperforms other known methods for the face recognition task on LFW, AgeDB-30 and Megaface datasets. The idea of the proposed method is to use class centers from the teacher network for the student network. Then the student network is trained to get the same angles between the class centers and face embeddings predicted by the teacher network.}, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {15}, number = {3}, year = {2021}, pages = {206 - 210}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10011902}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/171}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 171, 2021}, }
