Abstract

Lines are human mental abstractions. A bunch of lines may form a drawing. A set of drawings can feed an LSTM network input layer, considering each draw as a list of lines and a line a list of points. This paper proposes the pointless motive to classify the gender of celebrities' portraits as an excuse for exploration in a broad, more artistic sense. Investigation results drove compelling ideas here discussed. The experiments compared different ways to represent draws to be input in a network and showed that an absolute format of coordinates (x, y) was a better performer than a relative one (Dx, Dy) with respect to prior points, most frequent in the reviewed literature. Experiments also showed that, due to the recurrent nature of LSTMs, the order of lines forming a drawing is a relevant factor for input in an LSTM classifier not studied before. A minimum 'pencil' traveled length criteria for line ordering proved suitable, possible by reducing it to a TSP particular instance. The best configuration for gender classification appears with an LSTM layer that returns the hidden state value for each input point step, followed by a global average layer along the sequence, before the output dense layer. That result guided the idea of removing the average in the network pipeline and return a per-point attribute score just by adjusting tensors dimensions. With this trick, the model detects an attribute in a drawing and also recognizes the points linked to it. Moreover, by overlapping filtered lines of portraits, an attribute's visual essence is depicted. Meet the FaCells.
