AlignFace: Human-Aligned Face Similarity Metric with Interpretable Concept Relations
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.14130v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computer vision models for generated facial content, such as face editing and privacy protection, increasingly affect people, requiring similarity metrics that serve as faithful proxies for human perception. While perceptual evaluation has progressed from signal-based heuristics to representation-based metrics, current approaches are limited to behavioral modeling without cognitive alignment. They rely on implicit and spurious relations while assuming a universal observer, failing to account for inherent variations across diverse human populati
