An Ensemble of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks Models for Facial Beauty Prediction

Abstract

Facial beauty prediction is an emerging topic. The pursuit of facial beauty is the nature of human beings. As the demand for aesthetic surgery has increased significantly over the past few years, an understanding beauty is becoming increasingly important in medical settings. This work proposes a new ensemble based on the pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) models to identify scores for facial beauty prediction. These ensembles were originally built from the following previously trained models: DenseNet-201, Inception-v3, MobileNetV2, and EfficientNetB7. According to the SCUT-FBP5500 benchmark dataset, the proposed model obtains a Pearson coefficient of 0.9469. This reveals that the suggested EN-CNNs model can be successfully applied in a variety of face-to-face applications.
