Abstract
A deep neural network can provide output from a selected biometric analysis task that is one of a plurality of biometric analysis tasks based on an image. The selected biometric analysis task can be performed in a deep neural network that includes a common feature extraction neural network, a plurality of biometric task-specific neural networks, a plurality of segmentation mask neural networks and an expert pooling neural network that perform the plurality of biometric analysis tasks by inputting the image to the common feature extraction network to determine latent variables. The latent variables can be input to the plurality of biometric task-specific neural networks to determine a plurality of biometric analysis task outputs. The latent variables can be input to a segmentation neural network to determine a facial feature segmentation output. The facial feature segmentation output can be output to a plurality of segmentation mask neural networks.
