Understanding images of groups of people
Abstract
In many social settings, images of groups of people are captured. The structure of this group provides meaningful context for reasoning about individuals in the group, and about the structure of the scene as a whole. For example, men are more likely to stand on the edge of an image than women. Instead of treating each face independently from all others, we introduce contextual features that encapsulate the group structure locally (for each person in the group) and globally (the overall structure of the group). This “social context” allows us to accomplish a variety of tasks, such as such as demographic recognition, calculating scene and camera parameters, and even event recognition. We perform human studies to show this context aids recognition of demographic information in images of strangers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
