Prerequisites

• Computer with Linux or OSX
• Torch-7
• For training, an NVIDIA GPU is strongly recommended for speed. CPU is supported but training is very slow.
• Cuda 8.0

Installing dependencies

• Install Torch: http://torch.ch/docs/getting-started.html
• Install Element-Research/rnn: https://github.com/Element-Research/rnn

Train

• After all dependencies installed, you should put your own training and testing files as:

../lfw_funneled_dev_128/train/Aaron_Eckhart/Aaron_Eckhart_0001.jpg
../lfw_funneled_dev_128/test/Aaron_Guiel/Aaron_Guiel_0001.jpg

Our data has processed with 2 points aligned and crop the centric part. We suggest you to use CFSS or other face alignment methods to pre-process your data. Then you can train the model by using the following command:

python RNN_main.lua
