A novel competitive learning prototype for image ordinal classification

Abstract Image ordinal classification (IOC) assigns a discrete yet ordinal scalar label to an input image, such as age estimation. Learning similarity metric, as a fine separation tool, is a prevailing solution to this problem. However, it is non-trivial to effectively incorporate the ordinal inform...
