1.The WebFace260M dataset, including clean training data (WebFace42M) and the urls of raw images before cleaning, has been released. Besides, online evaluation system has been open for the participants of the WebFace260M Track of ICCV21-MFR (The Masked Face Recognition Challenge & Workshop). The reason why we provide the urls of WebFace260M is that the total size of raw images of WebFace260M is huge, about 50T.
2.Due to the storage limitation, we provide WebFace42M in .jpg format. It is worth noting that we use .png format to train models in the original paper, so there may be some slight differences in accuracy.
