An independent researcher from Indonesia has developed IMGNet, a novel face verification model that utilizes sign pattern matching instead of traditional cosine similarity. This approach focuses on the relational structure of embedding vectors rather than their absolute values. The model achieves a 96.27% accuracy on the LFW dataset with a relatively small 10.58 MB model, and when applied to existing ArcFace embeddings, it demonstrates strong performance, suggesting sign pattern consistency is a fundamental property of face embeddings.
