Abstract
In general, a convolutional neural network (CNN) consists of one or more convolutional layers, pooling layers, and fully connected layers. Most designers adopt a trial-and-error method to select CNN parameters. In this study, an AlexNet network with optimized parameters is proposed for face image recognition. A Taguchi method is used for selecting preliminary factors and experiments are performed through orthogonal table design. The proposed method filters out factors that are significantly affected. Finally, experimental results show that the proposed Taguchi-based AlexNet network obtains 87.056% and 98.72% average accuracy of image gender recognition in the CIA and MORPH databases, respectively. In addition, the average accuracy of the proposed Taguchi-based AlexNet network is 1.576% and 3.47% higher than that of the original AlexNet network in CIA and MORPH databases, respectively.
